Mendeleev predicted that gallium belonged to the R2O3. Gallium was not discovered until 1874. The noble gases weren't discovered until 1894 through 1899.
Gallium has more in common with indium. Both gallium and indium are part of the same group on the periodic table, Group 13 (or Group IIIA), so they share similar chemical properties and trends. Germanium, on the other hand, is in Group 14 and therefore differs in its properties from gallium.
Mendeleev left spaces for undiscovered elements. He named them eka-aluminium, eka-silicon etc.
What Mendeleyev did with the empty spaces was that he left them empty. Say for example, he didn't know Boron, because it wasn't discovered at that time. He left the spot for Boron empty because he didn't know what it was. He predicted that in the future, scientists would find out about new elements, and his predictions were right. That's why, the modern Periodic Table of Elements has more elements that Mendeleyev had put on his list of elements.
The missing elements that Mendeleev predicted in his periodic table were germanium, gallium, and scandium. Mendeleev left gaps in the table for these elements based on the patterns he observed in the known elements at the time.

Mendeleev used the properties of gallium, scandium, and germanium to predict their existence before they were discovered. Their discovery and properties helped confirm the accuracy of Mendeleev's periodic table and his periodic law. This further solidified Mendeleev's contributions to the development of the modern periodic table.
he called them the actinides. they were ekaaluminium, ekaboron, and ekasilicon (aka germanium, gallium, and scandium)
Eka boron, eka aluminum, and eka silicon are theoretical elements predicted by Mendeleev's periodic table to fill in the gaps in the periodic table. They were later discovered and named as Scandium, Gallium, and Germanium, respectively.
The modern name of Ekaaluminium is Gallium. Mendeleev discovered Gallium in 1875. He also discovered Ekaboron (now known as Scandium), and Ekasilicon (now known as Germanium).

Elements are named after countries, not countries after elements ! Countries: francium, germanium, gallium, ruthenium, indium Regions: scandium, hassium, californium Continents: americium Also many towns.
americium, germanium, scandium, polonium

See "Mendeleev's predicted elements" in Wikipedia The answers are: scandium (Sc - 21), gallium (Ga - 31), technetium (Tc - 43), and germanium (Ge - 32) He temporarily named them to be: ekaboron (Eb), ekaaluminium (El), ekamanganese (Em), and ekasilicon (Es).
