As you know, there are equal numbers of electrons and protons in an atom, plus a number of neutrons. These atoms are created by a process called nucleosynthesis, which takes place either in stars or supernovae. Nucleosynthesis is the fusion (joining) of the primary particles. For some of these fusion reactions to take place, (and because of their probability) the energetic processes must be maintained for some time. Thus they can only take place in supernovae.
By these mechanisms, the atoms and their isotopes are built up from the simplest ones.
Most elements are more or less chemically reactive, and because of this only a handful exist in their native form.

How many natural element occur on the periodic table?
Today 94 elements (1 to 94) are considered natural chemical elements.
Mendelevium does it occur naturally in nature or is manmade?
Mendelevium is a manmade element and does not occur naturally in nature. It is produced by bombarding einsteinium with alpha particles in a particle accelerator.
Is the element dubnium natural or synthetic?
Dubnium is an artificial chemical element.
In what ways can an element occur in nature?
An element occur in nature as a pure element or as a compound.
Is nobelium natural or synthtic?
Nobelium is an artificial chemical element.
What is natural abundance?
Natural abundance refers to the relative amount of different isotopes of an element that occur naturally in the environment. It is expressed as a percentage and reflects the distribution of isotopes based on their atomic masses. Natural abundance varies depending on the element and is important in various fields such as chemistry, geology, and environmental science.

Astatine is an element that does not occur naturally in large quantities on Earth.
Is lithium a natural or synthetic element?
Lithium is a natural element that is found in various minerals and salts in the Earth's crust. It is not a synthetic element.

Yes, uranium is a natural but radioactive element.
Does copper occur naturally as an element or as a compound?
Copper occurs naturally as both an element and in various compounds. In its pure form, copper is an element on the periodic table with the symbol Cu. However, it can also be found in nature as compounds such as copper oxide and copper sulfide.
