Mendeleev's Periodic Table was accepted by other scientists because it successfully organized elements based on their Atomic Mass and revealed periodic trends in their properties. His predictions of undiscovered elements, such as germanium, gallium, and scandium, which matched their properties once found, further validated his framework. Additionally, Mendeleev's ability to correct certain atomic masses and leave gaps for yet-to-be-discovered elements demonstrated the table's robustness and utility in understanding elemental relationships. Overall, his systematic approach provided a powerful tool for chemists to predict and explain chemical behavior.
