Why werent the ten smaller satellites discovered until a space probe passed close to to uranus?

Since Uranus is a long distance from earth and the 10 smaller satellites are so small and dark, we weren't able to discover them until we sent a spacecraft close to Uranus. These satellites are not visible from earth.Uranus is very far away from the Sun and the Earth, and its satellites very small. When Voyager flew there it was much closer and it was easier to detect them.Space probes have proved that Uranus also has ten much smaller satellites that orbit much closer to the planet. These ten are dark in color and do not reflect as much sunlight as the larger ones.


Did Henri Becquerel and the Curies find out that the atoms werent indivisible?

Yes, Henri Becquerel and the Curies discovered that atoms were not indivisible when they conducted experiments on radioactivity. They found that certain elements could spontaneously emit radiation, demonstrating that atoms were composed of even smaller particles. This discovery led to the development of the field of nuclear physics.

Why couldn't Mendeleev predict the existence of the noble gases in the periodic table of elements?

Mendeleev couldn't predict the existence of noble gases because they are inert and do not readily form compounds with other elements. Mendeleev's periodic table was based on the properties of elements and their compounds, and since noble gases do not readily form compounds, they did not fit into his classification scheme.
