Is Uranium a man made element?
No, Uranium is naturally occurring. But all elements beyond uranium are man-made.
What elements are not on the periodic table?
you will find almost everything about the element in the periodic table like its atomic mass and its atomic number, chemical affinity also its electronegative but you wont find when the element was discovered or weather it is found in free state or oxides in nature
How many naturally occurring elements are found on this planet?
I say there are 92. At school, we were taught that there are 92 naturally occurring chemical elements on Earth. They are all the elements from hydrogen to uranium. However it's a bit more complicated than that. Here's some more detail: There are 2 elements of the first 92 that are so unstable they are not found in nature. Actually minute traces of these have now been detected, I believe. There are 2 elements beyond uranium that do occur naturally as the product of the radioactive decay of Uranium. So, the final total is probably 92. However, it may be anything from 90 to 94, depending on what you include.
What is the first actinide element?
ActinidesThis is a group of elements within the periodic table and are also known as the transuranics. The name refers to those elements with increasing atomic no. from actinium, which all have similar chemical properties, like the lanthanides. The first few members of the group are the naturally occurring elements actinium, thorium, proactinium and uranium. Beyond this elements have been made artificially by radioactive bombardment. These artificial elements are unstable, some have very short lifeimes and undergo spontaneous radioactive decay.
What is unique about the first 92 elements?
90 of them are naturally occurring on earth. The other 2, technetium and promethium, must be manufactured in reactors or accelerators and are very radioactive. Elements beyond bismuth in the periodic table are all radioactive. This leaves a total of 81 natural non radioactive elements. Element 92, the last, is the only one to have a naturally occurring fissile isotope, Uranium-235, that can be used to power reactors or build fission bombs.That probably wasn't the answer you wanted.
Elements beyond uranium in the periodic table do not exist?
All the elements after uranium exist but excepting neptunium and plutonium (present in the earth crust only in ultratrace concentrations) they are man made.
What is a supernova shrapnel?
Elements from the entire periodic table, including elements beyond uranium. The elements beyond iron and nickel cannot be formed in ordinary stellar fusion. Most of the cloud of supernova shrapnel is highly radioactive for years or even centuries due to the presence of isotopes with excess neutrons, which causes ionization glow of this material which can be observed with telescopes.
How do heavier elements on the periodic table form?
A few elements past iron can form in the star by neutron capture and beta decay. However the majority can only be formed by the blast shockwave of a supernova, which can form elements significantly beyond Uranium.
What are the elements beyond uranium in the periodic table?
Transuranic elements: Np, Pu, Am, Cm, Bk, Cf, Es, Fm, Md, No, Lr, Rf, Db, Sg, Bh, Hs, Mt, Ds, Rg, Uub, Uut, Uuh, Uuq, Uup, Uuo.
Is Uranium a man made element?
No, Uranium is naturally occurring. But all elements beyond uranium are man-made.
What are synethic elements?
See the periodic table - elements with the atomic number beyond 94.

Why scientists believe no elements are missing in the periodic table?
The periodic table contains all the known elements. Scientists have spent decades looking for new elements and, so far, haven't found any beyond what are on the periodic table as it stands now.

Advantages of mining uranium?
it gets you uranium, if you have uses for uranium. beyond that i am not sure exactly what kind of answer you were looking for. there are several hundred possible uses for uranium, most of them totally non-nuclear.
