Mendeleev predicted that this chemical element is under aluminium and near zinc in the Periodic Table. The predictions for melting point, Atomic Mass, density etc. were correct.
Gallium corresponds to eka-aluminum on the modern periodic table.
it has elements
DiscoVery of new elements
He left too many spaces between the elements......
Mendeleev left spaces for undiscovered elements. He named them eka-aluminium, eka-silicon etc.
It would be a soft metal with a low melting point.
eka aluminum is gallium eka boron is scandium eka silicon is germanium
A mixture of aluminum and an unknown element.
These characteristics were: density, melting point, atomic mass, type of oxide and chloride.
Gallium corresponds to eka-aluminum on the modern periodic table.
Gallium was named eka-aluminium by Mendeleev.
gallium
mixture of aluminum and an unknown element later called Germanium.
other sites say gallium
Gallium was named eka-aluminium by Mendeleev.
Aluminium does not rust.
Comparing the properties of the new element with the properties of the other elements in the group we can make this prediction.
