When making his Periodic Table Mendeleev noticed some spaces where elements should be couldn't be filled. He didn't want to force elements that didn't belong there to go there, so he believed the spaces were undiscovered elements. He left the names blank but predicted their properties. Later the elements Mendeleev predicted existed were discovered.
