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.
Flerovium, IUPAC 1995 proposal for element 102, was adopted uncontroversially for element 114 (eka-lead). In some countries, as Poland, Denmark, [ 18 ] India, [ 19 ] Indonesia [ 20 ] prior to 1997 element 104 had a Soviet proposal kurchatovium and element 105 had an American proposal hahnium.

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 ...
He initially considered the new element to be eka-antimony, but was soon convinced that it was instead eka-silicon. [ 14 ] [ 15 ] Before Winkler published his results on the new element, he decided that he would name his element neptunium , since the recent discovery of planet Neptune in 1846 had similarly been preceded by mathematical ...
In 1871, Mendeleev predicted this missing element would occupy the empty place below manganese and have similar chemical properties. Mendeleev gave it the provisional name eka-manganese (from eka, the Sanskrit word for one) because it was one place down from the known element manganese. [6]
