Look at where the notes fall on the first three frets of the guitar, then the next five, and then the next four. The first string position being âopen,â the first four frets of the guitar neck are shown. The notes of the fourth through eighth frets.
The greatness of Mendeleev was that not only did he leave spaces for elements that were not yet discovered but he predicted properties of five of these elements and their compounds. How foolish he would have seemed if these predictions had been incorrect but fortunately for him three of these missing elements were discovered by others within 15 years (ie within his lifetime).
In 1869 Russian chemist Dimitri Mendeleev started the development of the periodic table, arranging chemical elements by atomic mass. He predicted the discovery of other elements, and left spaces open in his periodic table for them.In 1886 French physicist Antoine Bequerel first discovered radioactivity.Thomson student from New Zealand Ernest Rutherford named three types of radiation; alpha, beta and gamma rays.n 1894 Sir William Ramsay and Lord Rayleigh discovered the noble gases, which were added to the periodic table as group 0. In 1897 English physicist J. J. Thomson first discovered electrons; small negatively charged particles in an atom. John Townsend and Robert Millikan determined their exact charge and mass.
