Why did Mendeleev left gaps in his periodic table ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Mendeleev left some gaps in his periodic table of elements for the unknown elements at that time. For e.g., Mendeleev discovered eka-silicon with atomic mass of 72, which was later named Germanium with atomic mass 72.6.
