An element's physical and chemical properties. You can also predict what elements will bond with each other.
Based on the other elements in the same group, like helium and neon, you can predict that it is a gas under normal conditions, and it is not chemically reactive.
It is quite true that you can use the periodic table to predict the chemical properties of undiscovered elements, but this is not of any great practical importance because any remaining undiscovered elements are going to be so heavy that they will be very unstable, and will rapidly decay into other, lighter elements. All elements having a stable nucleus have already been discovered. Once you get to elements heavier than uranium, they just get more and more unstable, the heavier they get.
He could predict other elements because there was an obvious gap, but he couldn't predict the noble gases because he didn't realize that there was going to be an 18th group since none of them were yet discovered. When he first started organizing the periodic table, the pattern still made sense even without the noble gases.
Birthrates, Death Rates, and the age structure of a population help predict why some countries have high growth rates while other countries grow more slowly.
Mendeleev was the inventor of the Periodic Table. He organized all the known elements into the periodic table based on atomic number. He was also able to predict the existence of elements that had not yet been discovered based on gaps in the table he created. Based on observations of other elements in the groups he was also able to predict the characteristics of these unknown elements as well. NICE! dude

The Periodic Table was invented by Dmitry Mendeleyev. He grouped every known element and he used this table to predict the existence of other several elements. Mendelevium name pays homage to Dmitry Mendeleyev.
Because there were gaps in the periodic table, which he invented. Unlike other scientist of the time who tried to make the elements fit theircategorising system, such as Newlands and his law of octaves, Mendeleev came to the conclusion that they had not discovered all the elements as he noticed patterns that allowed you to categorise elements if you left gaps that undiscovered elements could fill.
bc the valence e-
You can predict it's physical state, atomic size, atomic weight, electron effinity, charge, and other physical characteristics.
Mendeleev arranged the elements in a table ordered by atomic mass, corresponding to relative molar mass as defined today. Mendeleev predicted the discovery of other elements and left space for these new elements, namely eka-silicon (germanium), eka-aluminium (gallium), and eka-boron (scandium). Thus, there was no disturbance in the periodic table.
Based on the other elements in the same group, like helium and neon, you can predict that it is a gas under normal conditions, and it is not chemically reactive.
Comparing the properties of the new element with the properties of the other elements in the group we can make this prediction.
No. There are 118 currently known elements, of which 98 exist in nature. The other 20 have only been produced in laboratories. Elements beyond that would be too unstable to exist.
