Why did mendeleev leave blank spaces on his periodic table?

Mendeleev left blank spaces because certain elements on the Periodic Table were not known at that time. He knew that in the future, those elements would be found and placed on the periodic table.


Why was Mendeleev's decision to leave blank spaces on his table sometime referred to as his most significant contribution to periodic table?

Mendeleev thought about the future and realized that it was entirely unlikely that all earthly elements had been discovered, so he left blank spaces in his table and even predicted some of the elements that would fit in those spaces. Surprisingly enough, as time passed, chemists began discovering many of the elements that he had predicted, which fit perfectly into his periodic table.


Who created the periodic table?

The first periodic table was developed by Dmitri Mendeleev in the mid-19th century.He wasn't the only person thinking along those lines ... both John Newlands and Lothar Meyer had proposed similar ideas However, Newlands was largely criticized and ignored at the time, and Meyer didn't make any predictions, so Mendeleev's table (which did make predictions about the properties of several as-yet-undiscovered elements) is generally regarded as the first.


How was mendeleev's scheme for listing elements different from that used in the modern periodic table?

Mendeleev's scheme was different from the modern periodic table because he listed the elements in order according to the relative atomic mass. Dmitri Mendeleev created his periodic table in 1868.


Who first thought of the periodic table?

Many people thought of the idea, but we have given credit to Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869. I think its because he took the idea further and inscribed detail into his table, even predicting future elements. However, Lothar Meyer has also produced a similar version at essentially the same time as Dmitri Mendeleev.Some precursors include:Johann DobereinerA.E.Beguyer de ChancourtoisJohn Newlands

How did mendeleev organize the periodic table?

He is credited as being the creator of the first version of the periodic table of elements. Using the table, he predicted the properties of elements yet to be discovered.


Why did Mendeleev leave spaces in his table?

Because he knew from his already discovered periods and groups of elements that the gaps would be filled by newly discovered elements. If you have a gap such as this, 3d5__3d7 along a period's outer valance level you can predict, which Mendeleev did, that the element with the outer valance number, 3d6, will be found in the future.
