Exactly 90 that we know of. All the elements 1-92, or Hydrogen (H) through Uranium (U) are natural, with the exception of element 61, Promethium (Pm), and element number 43, Technetium (Tc). Everything past Uranium can only be created through synthetic means.
It is often wrongly claimed that there are 92 naturally occurring elements - up to uranium, and that the trans-uranium elements are all man-made.
From this, some argued that there are only 90 because technetium and promethium are not naturally occurring. Indeed, the name technetium is derived from the fact that it was only mad-made. Or so it was thought. Actually, technetium has no stable isotopes, but it can be found in uranium ores (pitchblende).
Natural promethium is extremely rare. You would need a million tonnes of uranium ore to obtain a few micrograms of promethium - so it does occur naturally.
Moreover, although the trans-uranium elements were all originally man-made, six of them have been subsequently found to occur in nature - in very small quantities in pitchblende. These are neptunium, plutonium, americium, curium, berkelium, and californium.
Therefore, the true count is 98 elements.
Now 98 chemical elements are considered as natural.
Out of the first 92 elements, 1 being hydrogen (H) and 92 being uranium (U), there are 90 that are naturally occurring. Technetium (Tc) and promethium (Pm) are man-made elements and do not have any isotopes occurring naturally.
Out of the first 92 elements, 1 being hydrogen (H) and 92 being uranium (U), there are 90 that are naturally occurring. Technetium (Tc) and promethium (Pm) are man-made elements and do not have any isotopes occurring naturally.
there are 51 natural elements we know of
The heaviest naturally occurring element is uranium, and it has 92 electrons.
90 naturally occurring elements, unknown number possible elements.
Out of the first 92 elements, 1 being hydrogen (H) and 92 being uranium (U), there are 90 that are naturally occurring. Technetium (Tc) and promethium (Pm) are man-made elements and do not have any isotopes occurring naturally.
The natural combination of these elements result in many varying substances.
92 are natural occuring, other remaining are man made.
There are 90 naturally occurring types of atoms, or elements.
Elements 1-92 except 43 (technetium) and 61 (promethium) occur naturally. So, there are 90 naturally occurring elements.
Out of the first 92 elements, 1 being hydrogen (H) and 92 being uranium (U), there are 90 that are naturally occurring. Technetium (Tc) and promethium (Pm) are man-made elements and do not have any isotopes occurring naturally.
Elements 1-92 except 43 (technetium) and 61 (promethium) occur naturally. So, there are 90 naturally occurring elements.
There are 90 naturally occurring elements. The other 28 are synthetic. Refer to the related link for a printable colored periodic table that identifies the artificially prepared elements.

False. Potassium, elemental symbol K, is a naturally occurring metal. Synthetic elements in contrast include radioactive elements which may only exist for small amount of time in laboratory conditions.
