36 elements were known in 1800.
Approx. 20 elements were known in 1800.
In 1818 there were 49 known and accepted (by the scientific community) elements.
Approx. 25 chemical elements were known in 1800.
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 118 known elements in Avril 2014.
There are at least five million distinct chemical compounds known. This compares to only 91 naturally occurring elements and about thirty more synthetic elements.
Periodic Table Of The Elements
Most elements can have more than one oxidation number, but I think you are looking for the transition elements in groups 3 - 12.
The Periodic Table contains all the known elements and information about each of the elements, such as atomic number, atomic mass, group, period and symbol.
Now are known 118 chemical elements and more than 3 000 isotopes and isomers.
There are currently 117 different elements known to humankind. Those elements make up everything we know.
The elements beginning with Lanthanum (atomic number 57) and ending with Lutetium (atomic number 71) are called Lanthanides. They are also known as rare earth elements.
