How did Mendeleev exactly predict the mass of eka aluminium?

Solution

Mendeleev predicted the atomic mass of different elements. He knew the atomic mass of the preceding and the following elements. He had little knowledge of radioactivity and nuclear stability, as well as the neutron to proton ratio shift as atomic number (then, atomic mass) increased based on all this, he could predict the atomic mass of the unknown elements.
