eka- boron, eka- silicon and eka-aluminium are names given to elements by Mendeleev in his periodic table. He gave these names for the elements which were yet to be discovered. He left blank spaces for these elements in his periodic table.
He named these elements with a prefix 'eka' which is a sanskrit numerical and previous element. He could accurately predict the properties of these yet to be discovered elements.
