97 - Berkelium (Bk)

98 - Californium (Cf)

99 - Einsteinium (Es)

100 - Fermium (Fm)

How many electrons would the above atom have in the outer electron shell?

Somewhere between 1 & 8 (unless ionised - could have 0). Which atom are we talking about here? Rule of thumb (not including Lanthanide & Actanide series) - Find which column it is in on the periodic table of elements and that's how many electrons it will have in it's (non-ionised) state.


Which lanthanide element and which transition element have only radioactive isotopes?

All or almost all elements have radioactive isotopes if artificial isotopes are included. Among the naturally occurring elements, uranium, polonium, radium, and thorium have naturally occurring radioactive isotopes on earth.

Do scientists have to know all the chemical elements in the periodic table?

No. Firstly not all scientists are chemists. Secondly, not all chemists are working on problems that involve many of the elements. In fact only a small minority of working chemists could name the 15 lanthanide or rare earth elements. Thirdly, all chemists work with computer terminals or reference books nearby where they can easily look up rare or unfamiliar elements.
