Mendeleev (shown right) grouped 66 elements according to their properties. He also arranged them in order of their relative mass. he also predicted properties for elements not yet discovered, and left room for them on his periodic table.

All metals except mercury are solid at room temperature. (br) is a liquid, and five are solid at room temperature. Seven elements along the zigzag boundary between metals and nonmetals. Called semiconductors because they can be modified to function as conductors.
