Germany... probably. A Danish chemist performed an experiment and obtained a metal he claimed was "like tin"; a German chemist repeated it and concluded that what the Danish chemist had found was likely pure potassium, but that he hadn't recognized it. He then went on to isolate aluminium himself.

Why were gold and copper discovered before aluminium and magnesium?

Gold and copper were discovered before aluminium and magnesium because they are naturally occurring in a relatively pure state and were easily distinguishable by early humans due to their distinctive properties. Aluminium and magnesium, on the other hand, are typically found in combination with other elements, making their isolation more challenging until the development of advanced extraction techniques in the 19th century.

What was the thing that was blank on Mendeleev's periodic table?

The elements which were not discovered at that time were made blank. Mendeleev named them as eka-aluminium, eka-silicon etc. They were discovered later and were placed in the gaps.


What describes mendeleev use of the term eka-aluminum?

Mendeleev used the term "eka-aluminum" to predict the properties of an undiscovered element that would have similar characteristics to aluminum. This was part of his periodic table where he left gaps for undiscovered elements. Eka-aluminum was later discovered and named gallium, confirming Mendeleev's periodic trends.
