Is it true that on earth 90 elements occur naturally?

Yes, at least 91 elements occur naturally: all of those with atomic numbers of 92 or less except technetium. This still means that the problem "statement" is true, because it does not contain any limiting word such as "only" to modify the number 90. (It is equally true that 2 elements occur naturally.)


What specific name is given to elements with atom numbers 90 to 103?

Elements with atomic numbers 90 to 103 are known as actinides.


Elements that occur somewhere on earth are what?

Elements that occur naturally on Earth are called "native elements." These elements are found in their pure form without being combined with other elements. Some examples include gold, silver, and diamond.


How many known elements are there on earth are naturally made?

There are 92 naturally occurring elements on Earth.


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.

Is it real that 92 elements are found on earth?

Yes! Out of the current 118 known elements 92 of them are natural occurring, and 26 are man made. Only 90 of the 92 natural elements are found on Earth. The other 2 natural elements are found in space.

What do we call compounds of the elements silica and oxygen that include more than 90 percent of the minerals in the Earth's crust?

Silicates.


How the four element affect your health and everyday life?

"The" four elements is wrong; there are over 90 elements. If you mean the classic four elements of antiquity (fire, water, air, earth), this is really an obsolete theory.


What are the two most abundant elements in earths crust and what mineral group do these elements form?

oxygen and silicon they form silicates, i think


Why does the periodic table has over 110 elements when only 90 occur on earth?

The higher atomic number elements are radioactive and have long since decayed away (assuming they were here to start with).


How many elements are in the crust?

The Earth's crust is composed of around 90 naturally occurring elements, with oxygen and silicon being the most abundant. These elements are responsible for the diverse mineral composition of the crust, which varies depending on location and geological processes.
