Was Mendeleev's periodic table accurate enough that he was able to use it to predict the existence and several properties of certain elements that had not yet been discovered?

Mendeleev was able to predict the properties of the elements that were not discovered at that time. He left gaps for these elements in his Periodic Table.

Why did mendeleev not include germanium in the periodic table?
He could not because it had not yet been discovered when he created the table. However he was able to determine that an element was missing at that location and predict the properties it would have when it was discovered. When germanium was discovered and named, his predictions were found to be very accurate.
What is an accurate comparison of the properties of compounds and the properties of the elements that the compounds contain?
they are different

Is it accurate to say thet helium has no properties?
Well it is partly true. Helium has physical properties like density, boiling point, conductivity etc. But it has no chemical property.
Is it accurate that curing salt are both bad and good?
yes. We use it to help preserve things like ham, bacon sausage and most other cured meats. At first, this was thought to be a wonderful way to reduce the risk of botulism. As time went on however, scientists discovered that the very ionic properties hat prevent the growth of bacteria also cause cancer.
How was Menndeleyev able to predict the existence of elements that had not yet been discovered?
Mendeleev left gaps for undiscovered elements. He predicted their properties which were found to be accurate later.

What is the argument for the existence of global warming?
Thermometers and accurate measurements and data keeping prove that the earth is warming.
What effect did th discovery of gallium have on the accepteance of mendeleevs table?
Mendeleev had some empty spaces in his table. On being asked why he left spaces, instead of seeing it as a drawback, he confidently said that those were the places for "yet to be discovered elements". He named them by prefixing the Sanskrit numeral "Eka-" to the preceding element.For example, he named Gallium as "Eka-aluminium", Germanium as "Eka-Silicon" and so on. Later, when a new element was found and was named as Gallium, it was observed that it had almost same properties as that of Eka-Aluminium predicted by Mendeleev. As his predictions were almost accurate, other scientists began to accept that his classification was indeed better than any others'. And so, it was accepted.
What characteristics are thermometric properties expected to have?
varies with temp. in a reproducible way, rapid response , accurate
