In 1818 there were 49 known and accepted (by the scientific community) elements.
There was 36 elements
26
By 1869, a total of 63 elements had been discovered.
I believe there were 55 or 56 known elements then.
Approx. 25 chemical elements; for several artificial elements the state of matter is not surely known.
This extremely important discovery was made by Russian chemist Dmitry Mendeleyev somewhere in the late 1800's. He suggested arranging the known elements by atomic weight (or mass) - which would, by extension, mean by atomic number - in order to predict the properties of as yet undiscovered elements. His system worked perfectly and enabled other scientists to fill in the blanks and complete what is known as the Periodic Table of Elements.
There are a total of 118 elements known to exist on the periodic table.
36 elements were known in 1800.
Approx. 20 elements were known in 1800.
Approx. 25 chemical elements were known in 1800.
There are currently 118 known elements.
There are so many elements that have been discovered. In the world, there are currently 118 different known elements known to scientists.
By 1869, a total of 63 elements had been discovered.
118 or 119
Now are known 118 chemical elements.
112
Today are known 118 chemical elements; 98 are considered as natural elements (but some have also and an artificial origin).
Today (July 2013) 118 chemical elements are known.
There were about 63 known elements.
