Note the following: Lecoq de Boisbaudran called the element gallium and said its density was 4.7x103. Mendeleev on hearing this wrote to Lecoq de Boisbaudran telling him that everything he said about the new element was correct except its density. On further position of the metal, Lecoq de Biosbaudran discovered that Mendeleev was right that the density of gallium was 5.8 x103 kg just like it had been predicted by Mendeleev. Further proof of the law came via the works of Lars Fredrick Nilson who discovered scandium and Winkler who discovered germanium. Both elements were found to have properties corresponding to those of earlier predicted for them by Mendeleev.
