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.
He could not because it had not yet been discovered when he created the table. However he was able to determine that an element was missing at that location and predict the properties it would have when it was discovered. When germanium was discovered and named, his predictions were found to be very accurate.
Dmitri Mendeleev's periodic table allowed for the prediction of undiscovered elements based on the patterns of known elements. He arranged elements by increasing atomic mass and grouped them by similar chemical properties, which led him to leave gaps for elements he anticipated would be found later. For instance, he predicted the existence of gallium and germanium before they were discovered, as their properties aligned with the trends of elements in their respective groups. His periodic table's structure demonstrated that elements exhibit periodicity, enabling accurate predictions about their characteristics.
Well it is partly true. Helium has physical properties like density, boiling point, conductivity etc. But it has no chemical property.
Compounds have unique properties distinct from their constituent elements, as they exhibit new chemical and physical characteristics through chemical bonding. The properties of compounds are determined by their molecular structure and interactions between atoms. In contrast, the properties of elements are based on their atomic structure and individual chemical behavior.
Newlands' Law of Octaves was rejected primarily because it was based on the observation of only 56 elements, which limited its applicability. While it successfully grouped elements with similar properties in the first few rows, it failed to accommodate new elements discovered later and did not apply well to heavier elements. Additionally, the law suggested that elements' properties repeat every eight elements, which was not universally accurate. This led to the development of the periodic table as a more comprehensive framework for organizing elements based on atomic number and properties.
Mendeleev's periodic table allowed for the prediction of the properties of unknown elements by identifying gaps in the table where elements had not yet been discovered. By examining the properties of neighboring elements, Mendeleev was able to predict the properties of the missing elements and suggest their existence. His periodic table provided a framework for organizing elements based on their atomic mass and chemical properties, which allowed for the accurate prediction of the properties of undiscovered elements.
Mendeleev left gaps for undiscovered elements. He predicted their properties which were found to be accurate later.
True.
In 1619 tessellations was studied and discovered and in 1891 it was proven to be correct and accurate.
Dmitri Mendeleev predicted the properties of undiscovered elements by arranging known elements in his periodic table based on their atomic mass and chemical properties. Gaps in the table suggested the existence of unknown elements with specific characteristics based on the trends observed. This systematic approach allowed Mendeleev to make accurate predictions about the properties of elements yet to be discovered.

Thermometers and accurate measurements and data keeping prove that the earth is warming.

Mendeleev had some empty spaces in his table. On being asked why he left spaces, instead of seeing it as a drawback, he confidently said that those were the places for "yet to be discovered elements". He named them by prefixing the Sanskrit numeral "Eka-" to the preceding element.For example, he named Gallium as "Eka-aluminium", Germanium as "Eka-Silicon" and so on. Later, when a new element was found and was named as Gallium, it was observed that it had almost same properties as that of Eka-Aluminium predicted by Mendeleev. As his predictions were almost accurate, other scientists began to accept that his classification was indeed better than any others'. And so, it was accepted.
Döbereiner's triads were rejected because they did not work for all elements and their properties as more elements were discovered. They were limited to grouping only a few elements with similar properties, and the periodic table provided a more comprehensive and accurate organization of elements based on atomic number and properties.
Shape, dimensions, mass, colour.
