As of now, there are 118 confirmed elements on the Periodic Table, with the heaviest being oganesson (Og). While scientists continue to explore the possibility of discovering new elements, particularly those beyond element 118, it is uncertain how many undiscovered elements remain, as they would require advanced technology and conditions to synthesize. Theoretical predictions suggest that elements may exist beyond the current periodic table, but their stability and properties are largely unknown.
He predicted that elements with the predicted properties would be discovered to fill in these gaps.
Mendeleev discovered gaps in his periodic table where elements should logically fit based on their properties and atomic weights. He predicted that these missing elements would eventually be discovered because there were clear patterns in the properties of known elements that suggested the existence of undiscovered elements to complete the table.
Many of the elements with higher atomic numbers have no stable form yet discovered, ex: ununoctium.
Mendeleev was able to predict the properties of the elements that were not discovered at that time. He left gaps for these elements in his Periodic Table.
By placing the elements in order of their Atomic Mass then grouping them based on similar chemical properties, Mendeleev recognized that there were gaps in the pattern he made where elements should be. He predicted there were some elements yet to be discovered and predicted their chemical properties. The elements he predicted were later discovered and named germanium, gallium, and scandium.
If they are not discovered yet how would we know how many? Also, your question is phrased poorly.
Mendeleev left gaps for eight elements in his periodic table that were yet to be discovered. These gaps eventually corresponded to the elements gallium, germanium, scandium, technetium, francium, and technetium.
not been discovered yet
He predicted that elements with the predicted properties would be discovered to fill in these gaps.
there are about 125 or120 and some haven't even been discovered yet. so there's a good number of elements in the periodic table
i have no idea but i will check and keep you posted.
the large gaps
Many of the first discovered elements were named by their discoverer or the location where they were discovered, such as hydrogen, named by Antoine Lavoisier, and uranium, named after the planet Uranus.
The long dashes on Mendeleev's periodic table represent gaps where elements had not yet been discovered but were predicted to exist based on the periodic pattern of elements. Mendeleev used these gaps to accurately predict the properties of the missing elements, leading to the discovery of new elements.
There were 3 blank spaces in mendeleev's Periodic Table. He left it for the elements which were not discovered at that time.
He used the difference method
No one knows how many elements are left to discover.
