Why did Mendeleev first think that argon was not an element?

In 1871 noble gases wee unknown.


What was Mendeleev able to find out for each element?

He was able to work out the atomic mass of the missing elements, and so predict their properties. And when they were discovered, Mendeleev turned out to be right. For example, he predicted the properties of an undiscovered element that should fit below aluminium in his table. When this element, called gallium, was discovered in 1875, its properties were found to be close to Mendeleev's predictions. Two other predicted elements were later discovered, lending further credit to Mendeleev's table.


How was element germanium discovered?

In 1886 a German chemist named, Clemens A. Winkler discovered germanium. He discovered the first trace of germanium in the mineral argyrodite, while isolating it. (But germanium rarely makes distinct minerals.) He purified it to find the new element. Before this in 1871 a chemist named, Mendeleev predicted there would be a new element, that would have properties similar to the ones in silicon. His predictions were proved to be true.


What describes mendeleev use of the term eka-aluminum?

Gallium was named eka-aluminium by Mendeleev.


When was gallium discovered and by who?

In 1871, the gallium was dicoversd by a Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev, who named it "eka-aluminium" on the basis of its position in his periodic table..


What is ekasilicons modern name?

Ekasilicon (Mendeleev's name for the element below Silicon, 1869) is named germanium since it was discovered (1886).Eka (from Sanskrit) means 'first' for first element downwards.

What do the long dashes represent on mendeleev's periodic table?

Long dashes in the Mendellev's periodic table represent the element which were not discovered yet and these elements were discovered later on.


What element did mendeleev call ekasilicon?

Mendeleev proposed that there must be missing elements, to which he gave the provisional names Ekaboron, Ekaaluminum and Ekasilicon. Scankium, Gallium and Germanpoop were discovered in 1879, 1875 and 1886, respectively, with properties very close to those predicted by Mendeleev. hey Glen


It must have taken some gall in 1871 for Mendeleev to predict the existence of this low-melting metal then four years later eka-aluminum was discovered by a Gallic chemist?

gallium


What is the first element of the Mendeleev's periodic table?

The first element of the Mendeleev's periodic table is hydrogen (H).


What element is mendeleev name after?

This element is mendelevium (element 101).
