40 elements are discovered uptil now
Approx. 25 chemical elements were known in 1800.
In 1870, 63 elements had been discovered.
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.
There are over 340 naturally occurring radioactive elements, but only around 70 of these are found on Earth in measurable amounts. These elements have unstable nuclei that decay over time, emitting radiation in the process.
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.
None - they are all radioactive.
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.
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?
Radioactive substances are not exclusive to the last period of elements on the periodic table, but many of the heaviest elements, particularly those in the actinide and transactinide series, are radioactive. These elements, found at the bottom of the periodic table, typically have unstable nuclei that decay over time. However, there are also radioactive isotopes of lighter elements scattered throughout the periodic table. Thus, while many radioactive elements are at the bottom, not all radioactive substances belong to this category.
Many of the elements with higher atomic numbers have no stable form yet discovered, ex: ununoctium.
Group 3 of the periodic table contains many of the radioactive elements.
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.
Many of the first discovered elements were named by their discoverer or the location where they were discovered, such as hydrogen, named by Antoine Lavoisier, and uranium, named after the planet Uranus.
