Solution

Reason why Mendeelev leave a few gaps in his periodic table:

  • The element arrangements are based on grouping similar elements in the periodic table of Mendeelev.
  • At the time of creating the periodic table, some of the elements was not discovered.
  • The spaces left in the periodic table is to fill it with elements that has not discovered but must be positioned there after discovery.
  • Mendeleev thought in this way and left gaps in between.
