Because back in 1869 they didn't know all of the periods that we know today.
In more than 150 years the periodic table had many versions; hundred versions of this table are known. The sole official table is today the IUPAC Periodic Table.
There are 91 metals in the periodic table today, but new ones are added as time passes.
Many more elements are known today then when Mendeleev laid out his table. In addition, he arranged his table by atomic mass and there are places in the periodic table where mass does not always increase. An example is between tellurium and iodine.
periodic table stands for all the elments scientist have found till today. Example: gold, silver, oxegon, carbon dioxide,ect.
To study elements many attempts were made to classify the elements.Dobereighner tried to arrange the elements int groups of three and called them as Dobereighner' triads.Newland also categorized the elements in groups of eight like the musical notesand called them Newland's octaves.But the most credited person for creation of periodic table was Dimitry Ivanovich Mendeleev who arranged the elements on the basis of increasing atomic massesand made an actual periodic table placing all the discovered elements discovered at that time. Not only that, he also left spaces for future elements to be discovered.But there were some defects in his table which were corrected by Henry Mosleywhen he formed the modern periodic table based on increasing atomic number.

well every known materialthat we asociate with is listed in the periodic table.
A group is a column in the periodic table of elements.
Henry Moseley
Dmitri Mendeleev.
Today (June 2013) the periodic table contain 118 chemical elements, natural or artificial.
he drew up a table that grouped elements according to their atomic weights, his table became the basis for the periodic table of elements used today.
Henry Moseley in 1914
No there are still undiscovered elements
Mendeleev's Periodic Table was different from Moseley's in that Mendeleev arranged the elements inÊthe table according to atomic masses while Mosley's periodic table was arranged accordingÊto atomic numbers that were increasing.ÊÊThe modern periodic table used today is based on the Moseley model.
