* * * * * Mendeleev’s work attracted more attention He left blank spaces in his table, at 44, 68, 72, and 100, for undiscovered elements (Sc Ga Ge Tc) He corrected some atomic mass values (In, U). Group 1 has high molar volume, low melting points and all form M+ ions. * Other additions to the table included the Noble gases discoved by William Ramsey. Mendeleev placed certain elements out of order-he assumed that errors had been made in the atomic masses, but it is clear that some elements remain out of order. Moseley changed that with x-ray spectra. * 43, 61 and 75 were discovered in 1937
