To give provisional names to his predicted elements, Dmitri Mendeleev used the prefixes eka- / ˈ iː k ə-/, [note 1] dvi- or dwi-, and tri-, from the Sanskrit names of digits 1, 2, and 3, [3] depending upon whether the predicted element was one, two, or three places down from the known element of the same group in his table.
Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev (/ ˌ m ɛ n d əl ˈ eɪ ə f / MEN-dəl-AY-əf; [2] [b] [a] 8 February [O.S. 27 January] 1834 – 2 February [O.S. 20 January] 1907) was a Russian chemist known for formulating the periodic law and creating a version of the periodic table of elements.

This list of chemical elements named after places includes elements named both directly and indirectly for places. 41 of the 118 chemical elements have names associated with, or specifically named for, places around the world or among astronomical objects.
However, success of Mendeleev's predictions helped spread the word about his periodic table. [56] Later, chemists used the successes of these Mendeleev's predictions to justify his table. [15] By 1890, Mendeleev's periodic table had been universally recognized as a piece of basic chemical knowledge. [57]
Consequently, Mendeleev organized the elements known at that time into a table with eight columns. He used the table to predict the properties of then unknown elements. While his hit rate was less than 50% it was his successes that propelled the widespread acceptance of the idea of a periodic table of the chemical elements. [8]
In 1869, Mendeleev predicted that there exists elements with atomic masses 44, 68, 72, 100, and they corresponding to atomic numbers 21, 31, 32, 43, unfortunately, at that time, only atomic mass was known and atomic number was not known, and according to the article Discovery of chemical elements, the unknown elements as of 1850 are the elements with atomic numbers 2, 10, 18, 21, 31, 32, 36 ...
Mendeleev organized the elements based on atomic weight, leaving empty spaces where he believed undiscovered elements would take their places. [3] Mendeleev’s discovery of this trend allowed him to predict the existence and properties of three unknown elements, which were later discovered by other chemists and named gallium , scandium , and ...
