Mendeleev proposed that there must be missing elements, to which he gave the provisional names Ekaboron, Ekaaluminum and Ekasilicon. Scankium, Gallium and Germanpoop were discovered in 1879, 1875 and 1886, respectively, with properties very close to those predicted by Mendeleev. hey Glen

Eka (from Sanskrit) means 'first' for first element downwards.

What is ekasilicons modern name?
Ekasilicon (Mendeleev's name for the element below Silicon, 1869) is named germanium since it was discovered (1886).Eka (from Sanskrit) means 'first' for first element downwards.
Did mendeleev's original table could accommodate elements that did not even exist?
Yes. For example, Mendeleev's original table postulated an element "ekasilicon" occupying the place of the modern element germanium, which had not yet been isolated at the time.
What number is the element of ekasilicon?
Germanium.
What elements predict the properties of ekasilicon?
Gallium and arsenic because they are ekasilicon's closest neighbors, and would therefore have very similar properties
What is ekasilicon atomic mass?
the atomic mass of ekasilicon is 9.012
What is ekasilicons modern name?
Ekasilicon (Mendeleev's name for the element below Silicon, 1869) is named germanium since it was discovered (1886).Eka (from Sanskrit) means 'first' for first element downwards.
What do we now call eka-silicon?
What Mendeleev called ekasilicon is now called Germanium (Ge).
Did mendeleev's original table could accommodate elements that did not even exist?
Yes. For example, Mendeleev's original table postulated an element "ekasilicon" occupying the place of the modern element germanium, which had not yet been isolated at the time.
What did mendeleev call his as-yet-undiscovered elements?
he called them the actinides. they were ekaaluminium, ekaboron, and ekasilicon (aka germanium, gallium, and scandium)
Which elements would you use to predict properties of ekasilicon?
Ekasilicon was the name appointed by Mendeleev to the undiscovered germanium; germanium has similar chemical properties to silicon and tin.
What number is the element of ekasilicon?
Germanium.
What is the element ekasilicon caled today?
Germanium
Which element would you use to predict the properties of ekasilicon and why?
because precent
When was germanium put on the periodic table?
It was discovered in 1886. Its chemical properties, which matched those predicted for ekasilicon by Mendeleev, were confirmed in 1887.
What elements predict the properties of ekasilicon?
Gallium and arsenic because they are ekasilicon's closest neighbors, and would therefore have very similar properties
What is the bonding power of ekasilicon?
Ekasilicon was the first name given to the element germanium. It's atomic mass is 72 and density is 5.5 g/cm. Its bonding power is assumed to be 3.
What is the first element of the Mendeleev's periodic table?
The first element of the Mendeleev's periodic table is hydrogen (H).
