Which element was named Eka-aluminium by Mendeleev?

  1. Scandium

  2. Gallium

  3. Germanium

  4. Indium
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Mendeleev predicted the existence of several elements, naming them based on their position relative to known elements. Eka-aluminium was his name for the element that would later be discovered as Gallium.

The basis of periodic law presented by Mendeleev was: 

  1. valency

  2. atomic mass

  3. atomic number

  4. atomic volume
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

He grouped the elements with similar properties and observed that elements were arranged in the increasing order of atomic mass and there was the periodic occurrence of elements with similar properties.

According to this observation, he formulated a periodic law which states:

“the properties of elements are the periodic function of their atomic masses.”

Option B is correct.
