he predicted the properties from known elements above and belws the unknown in the same group

Explanation:

What allowed Mendeleev to make predictions of undiscovered elements

He realized that an element on this table with one known element above it and one known  element below it had to have properties between the two known elements

How did Mendeleev predict gallium and germanium?

Based on gaps in the periodic table Mendeleev deduced that in these gaps belonged elements yet to be discovered. Based on other elements below and above in the same group he predicted the existence of eka-aluminum, eka-boron, and eka-silicon, later to be named gallium (Ga), scandium (Sc), and germanium (Ge).

Predictions using gaps Mendeleev left gaps in his table to place elements not known at the time. By looking at the chemical properties and physical properties of the elements next to a gap, he could also predict the properties of these undiscovered elements.
