Answer:

Mendeleev arranged the elements in order of increasing relative atomic mass. When he did this he noted that the chemical properties of the elements and their compounds showed a periodic trend. He then arranged the elements by putting those with similar properties below each other into groups.

-- He left gaps for yet to be discovered elements

-- He switched the order of a few elements to keep the groups consistent

-- He was the first scientist to give the periodic law.
