mixture of aluminum and an unknown element later called Germanium.
Gallium was named eka-aluminium by Mendeleev.
These characteristics were: density, melting point, atomic mass, type of oxide and chloride.
Mendeleev named the missing elements after elements in the same group. he gave the name eka-aluminum to the element that belonged one space below aluminum on the able. Mendeleev predicted that eka-aluminum would be a soft metal with a melting point at a density of 5.9 g/cm3. In 1875,a french chemist discovered a new element. He named the element gallium in honor of France. Gallium is a soft metal with a melting point of 29. degrees Celsius and a density o f5.91 g/cm3. So pretty much in short Mendeleev left blank spaces because of Gallium.
Mendeleev predicted three elements namely Eka- aluminum (which turned out to be Gallium), Eka- boron (which turned out to be Scandium) and Eka- silicon (which turned out to be Germanium). Though these three elements are very famous, Mendeleev also predicted Eka- manganese (which turned out to be Technetium).

eka aluminum is gallium eka boron is scandium eka silicon is germanium

Mendeleev predicted that this chemical element is under aluminium and near zinc in the periodic table. The predictions for melting point, atomic mass, density etc. were correct.

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.

gallium
Mendeleev left those gaps for the elements which were not discovered at that time. He named those elements like eka-aluminium,eka -silicon etc.
Mendeleev left spaces for undiscovered elements. He named them eka-aluminium, eka-silicon etc.
