Mendeleev predicted that gallium belonged to the R2O3. Gallium was not discovered until 1874. The noble gases weren't discovered until 1894 through 1899.
Gallium has more in common with indium as they are both metals whereas germanium is a metalloid.
Mendeleev left spaces for undiscovered elements. He named them eka-aluminium, eka-silicon etc.
What Mendeleyev did with the empty spaces was that he left them empty. Say for example, he didn't know Boron, because it wasn't discovered at that time. He left the spot for Boron empty because he didn't know what it was. He predicted that in the future, scientists would find out about new elements, and his predictions were right. That's why, the modern Periodic Table of Elements has more elements that Mendeleyev had put on his list of elements.
Gallium (Ga)
Mendeleev predicted that gallium belonged to the R2O3. Gallium was not discovered until 1874. The noble gases weren't discovered until 1894 through 1899.
Gallium has more in common with indium as they are both metals whereas germanium is a metalloid.
he called them the actinides. they were ekaaluminium, ekaboron, and ekasilicon (aka germanium, gallium, and scandium)
The modern name of Ekaaluminium is Gallium. Mendeleev discovered Gallium in 1875. He also discovered Ekaboron (now known as Scandium), and Ekasilicon (now known as Germanium).
eka aluminum is gallium eka boron is scandium eka silicon is germanium
See "Mendeleev's predicted elements" in Wikipedia The answers are: scandium (Sc - 21), gallium (Ga - 31), technetium (Tc - 43), and germanium (Ge - 32) He temporarily named them to be: ekaboron (Eb), ekaaluminium (El), ekamanganese (Em), and ekasilicon (Es).
Mendeleev left spaces for undiscovered elements. He named them eka-aluminium, eka-silicon etc.
Elements are named after countries, not countries after elements ! Countries: francium, germanium, gallium, ruthenium, indium Regions: scandium, hassium, californium Continents: americium Also many towns.
americium, germanium, scandium, polonium
Gallium is a metal. It is next to germanium, a semi-metal.
both
For the most part Argon has 18 electons, but there are ions that have 18 electrons: Phosphurus, Sulfur, Cluorine, Potassium, Calcium, Scandium, Titanium, Vanadium, Chromium, Manganese, Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, Copper, Zinc, Gallium, and Germanium.
