In 1869 he published a table of the elements organized by increasing atomic mass.
Mendeleev is called the "father of the modern periodic table
stated that if the atomic weight of an element caused it to be placed in the wrong group, then the weight must be wrong. (He corrected the atomic masses of Be, In, and U)
was so confident in his table that he used it to predict the physical properties of three elements that were yet unknown.
After the discovery of these unknown elements between 1874 and 1885, and the fact that Mendeleev's predictions for Sc, Ga, and Ge were amazingly close to the actual values, his table was generally accepted.
However, in spite of Mendeleev's great achievement, problems arose when new elements were discovered and more accurate atomic weights determined.
STOP DELETING MY COMMENTS PEOPLE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
Ca(s)+2Hcl(aq) ------>CaCl2(s)+H2(g)
Water would not expand when it freezes.<span> </span>
'cause alphe-particle which was +ve charge, get repulsion from the atom, so he deducted that.......
