40 elements are discovered uptil now
All the elements after Uranium (U).
Unstable elements are radioactive elements that spontaneously decay into other elements. Some are: Radon Uranium Plutonium See the related link for an article giving greater detail on isotope stability.
In the Periodic Table of Elements there are: 118 Observed Elements 114 Officially Discovered Elements 112 Officially named Elements 92 Naturally Occuring Elements 83 Non-radioactive elements
There are so many elements that have been discovered. In the world, there are currently 118 different known elements known to scientists.
97 elements were known in 1950. Berkelium (Element 97) was discovered in December 1949.
Let me see shut up
All chemical elements after uranium and promethium, technetium.
Polonium was discovered by Marie Curie and Pierre Curie in 1898. Radium was discovered by Marie Curie, Pierre Curie and G. Bemont also in 1898. Studying residues of uranium ores Marie Curie and Pierre Curie found that these residues are more radioactive than uranium; they attributed this radioactivity to unknown elements. They isolated these elements and named these elements polonium and radium.
None - they are all radioactive.
Not all of the transition elements are radioactive. Many of them are, and some of them have common radioactive isotopes, but some of them have no naturally occurring radioactive isotopes. Please note that all elements have synthetic radioactive isotopes, at least.
About 28 elements were discovered in the laboratory. But after the man made preparation some elements were discovered also in nature in very extremely traces: Pm, Tc, Pu, Np, Am, Cm, Bk.
How many radioactive elements are made only in a laboratory?
Group 3 of the periodic table contains many of the radioactive elements.
many of the first discovered elements were named by greek and roman philosophers
No, many other elements are radioactive or have radioactive isotopes. Examples of this are carbon 14, which is used in carbon dating, Radon, Krypton, Hydrogen, Iodine, and many others.
No one knows how many elements are left to discover.
Thus far (2012) there have been 118 unique elements identified, the most recent being Ununoctium, discovered in 2003. >> Ununoctium: symbol Uuo, at. no. 118, at. wt. 294 ... it's man made and Radioactive.
