Question:

Which element replaced eka aluminium according to the Mendeleev’s periodic table?

Options:

Boron

Geranium

Gallium

Sodium

Correct Answer:

Gallium

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3. Gallium.

The element that replaced "eka aluminium" according to Mendeleev's periodic table is Gallium.

"Eka-aluminium" was the placeholder name given by Dmitri Mendeleev for the element with atomic number 31 in his periodic table. Gallium (Ga) was discovered by Paul-Émile Lecoq de Boisbaudran in 1875, and it was found to fit the properties predicted by Mendeleev for eka-aluminium. Therefore, gallium is the correct answer.
