Best Answer

The atom discovered with the highest atom number = number of proton = number of electrons

Note that some negative ions might be bigger.

The biggest element so far discovered is 294Uuo (Ununoctium, element 118), a superheavy transactinide element. Only a small number of atoms of this element have ever been produced.

The caesium atom with an empirical radius of 260 pm.

Why is francium the most explosive element on the periodic table?

Francium, with atomic number 87, does not have the highest atomic number. When it was discovered, in 1939, scientists already knew of five elements with higher atomic numbers: radium (88), actinium (89), thorium (90), protactinium (91) and uranium (92). By the end of 2015, the highest atomic number was 118 - for ununoctium.
