97 elements were known in 1950. Berkelium (Element 97) was discovered in December 1949.
In 1870, 63 elements had been discovered.
Over 118 elements have been discovered and confirmed on the periodic table.
There are currently 38 radioactive elements that have been discovered. These elements have unstable nuclei that undergo radioactive decay, emitting radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.
Mendeleev left gaps for eight elements in his periodic table that were yet to be discovered. These gaps eventually corresponded to the elements gallium, germanium, scandium, technetium, francium, and technetium.
Scientists have discovered and created a large number of elements thus far. Currently, there are 118 confirmed elements on the periodic table, with the first 92 occurring naturally and the rest being synthetic elements created in laboratories.
In 1870, 63 elements had been discovered.

Approximately 52 elements had been discovered by the time Charles Macintosh invented a waterproof fabric in 1823.
By 1869, a total of 63 elements had been discovered and reported in the scientific literature. These elements formed the basis for Mendeleev's development of the periodic table.
There are currently 38 radioactive elements that have been discovered. These elements have unstable nuclei that undergo radioactive decay, emitting radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.
Mendeleev left gaps for eight elements in his periodic table that were yet to be discovered. These gaps eventually corresponded to the elements gallium, germanium, scandium, technetium, francium, and technetium.
Over 11 chemical elements have been discovered at Stanford University, including nobelium, lawrencium, and seaborgium.
