Dmitri Menedeleev was able to predict the properties of undiscovered elements because the Periodic Table organizes elements based on repeating properties. For example, all of the Noble Gases (the far-right column) have filled their valence electron shells and are inert gases. One could reasonably assume that if a new element was discovered that went in the noble gas column that it would be inert as well. Mendeleev used this concept to accurately predict the properties of a handful of undiscovered elements, such as Gallium and Germanium.
he arranged the known elements of his time by Atomic Mass (atomic number was unknown then) and notice that their properties repeated. When there was an descripancy with the patern of properties and the mass he left a space for an element that he predicted would later be discovered with the correct properties and mass to fill that space.
I am not quite sure about this but there was a pattern in the increase of the atomic masses and because of the pattern, he was able to predict several undiscovered elements.
He figured out 70 elements and predicted Gallium. Your question is worded poorly, so I will assume it is a yes/no question making my answer "Yes".

This scientist is the Russian chemist Dimitri Mendeleev.
Mendeleev arranged the elements in a table with the rows ordered by atomic mass and the columns ordered the elements properties.

I believe the correct answer is he was able to predict the existence of yet undiscovered elements, due to the gaps. For instance, I believe germanium was one of the elements undiscovered in the table, its placeholder was called ekasilicon.
Dmitri Mendeleev was a Russian inventor and chemist. He is perhaps best known for his version of the periodic table. This helped him predict properties of elements which had not yet been discovered at that time.

Dmitri Mendeleev is generally credited, as he was able to predict the properties of elements which had not yet been discovered based on 'gaps' in his table. He ordered the known elements in terms of their atomic mass in 1869; elements are listed in order of increasing atomic number in the modern version.
63 elements were in Dmitri Mendeleev's First periodic table 63 elements were in Dmitri Mendeleev's First periodic table
Mendeleev arranged the elements in a table with the rows ordered by atomic mass and the columns ordered the elements properties.
He arranged elements in order of increasing atomic masses. He left gaps for undiscovered elements.The elements with same properties were grouped together.
He is important because he was the person who invented the Periodic Table and made it how it is today
