Because it organized all of the existing elements and helped scientist discover more elements.

∙ 9y ago- The table is useful for modern students and scientists because it helps predict the types of chemical reactions that are likely for an element.
- It memorizes facts and figures for each element, a quick glance at the table reveals a lot about the reactivity of an element, whether it is likely to conduct electricity, whether it is hard or soft, and many other characteristics.
- Elements in the same column as each other (groups) share similar properties. For example, the elements in the first column (the alkali metals) are all metals that usually carry a 1+ charge in reactions, react vigorously with water, and combine readily with nonmetals.
- Elements in the same row as each other (periods) share highest unexcited electron energy level.
- Another useful feature of the Periodic Table is that most table provide all the information you need to balance chemical reactions at a glance. The table tells an elements atomic number and usually its atomic weight. The usual charge on an element is indicated by an element's group.

∙ 10y agoMendeleev's table was useful because it indentifies the elements, and classifies them as metals, non metals or metalloids, as well as noble gases.

∙ 12y agoIt showed the elements arranged by atomic number
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoOne powerful outcome, was with the table, chemists could now look for elements which were yet to be found. For they knew what properties the new element would have.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoOnce it looked like the periodic table had "missing" elements, the missing elements could be predicted and searched for. Many elements were found this way.

∙ 9y agoMendeleev's table comprised of elements having same properties together. It made study of elements easier, however it had certain drawbacks.

How was mendeleevs periodic table like todays periodic table?
it has elements
What value was there in predicting the properties for gaps in Mendeleevs table?
DiscoVery of new elements
What was the problem with Mendeleevs table?
He left too many spaces between the elements......
What were mendeleevs discoveries and predictions and discoveries abot the periodic table?
Mendeleev predicted that properties of elements are periodic function of atomic mass. He demonstrated it by creating a table.
Which two elements on the periodic tabel would have been placed in different groups in moseleys periodic table but not in mendeleevs?

Mendeleevs periodic table of elements was created in 1901?
Mendeleev's periodic table of elements certainly wasn't created in 1901
What changes were made to the periodic table after Dmitri mendeleevs discovery?
they changed the 3 new Elements.
Was Mendeleevs table a completely regular grid?
not if u mean completely filled in but square by square yes
Main idea of mendeleevs first periodic table?
In Mendeleev's periodic table, the elements were arranged in the increasing order of their atomic masses and repeating periodic properties.
What were mendeleevs discoveries and predictions and discoveries abot the periodic table?
Mendeleev predicted that properties of elements are periodic function of atomic mass. He demonstrated it by creating a table.
