These elements (neptunium and heavier) are called transuranic elements or trans-uranium elements. They could also properly be called artificial and radioactive.

*Both plutonium and neptunium, first known through synthesis, have been found to occur naturally in trace amounts, along with americium, curium, berkelium and californium. These occur through a natural version of the synthesis process, within quantities of uranium ore.

How many stable nuclides exist for elements that have and atomic number above 83?

All isotopes of all elements with atomic number similar or greater than 84 are radioactive, and don't have stable nuclei.


Atomic number 148?

The element with atomic number 148 does not exist in nature as elements with atomic numbers above 92 are synthetic and have been created in laboratories. These elements are usually highly unstable and decay quickly.


What is the number above the elements symbol?

The number above an element's symbol in the periodic table represents its atomic number, which indicates the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element. Atomic number determines the element's unique identity and its placement in the periodic table.


How do you find the atomic number of atoms?

Look it up in "Periodic Table of elements" You can find the number of a particular element by looking at the Periodic Table; you can also do this by counting the number of protons in the nucleus.


How do atomic numbers and atomic masses increase in the periodic table?

Atomic numbers increase from left to right across a period on the periodic table. This is because each element in a period has one more proton in its nucleus compared to the element before it. Atomic masses generally increase from left to right as well, but there may be deviations due to isotopes or other factors. Within a group or column, atomic numbers and atomic masses increase from top to bottom as each successive element has more electrons and neutrons than the one above it.

What does elements with a higher atomic number than uranium have?

Elements with a higher atomic number than uranium belong to the transuranium elements, which are all man-made and generally unstable due to their high atomic numbers. These elements typically undergo radioactive decay, leading to the formation of lighter elements.

Where is the atomic number located on the periodic table?

There is no standard position. In the online version produced by the Royal Society of Chemistry, it is underneath the elements' symbols. The Wikipedia table shows atomic numbers above the symbols. So take your pick!


Synthetic elements are found in what group?

Synthetic elements are found in the group of transuranium elements, which are elements with atomic numbers higher than uranium (92) on the periodic table. These elements are artificially created in a laboratory through nuclear reactions and have unstable nuclei.

What elements that have not been given a permanent name yet?

As of October 2023, there are several elements on the periodic table that have been synthesized but not yet given permanent names. These include elements with atomic numbers 113 (Nihonium), 114 (Flerovium), 115 (Moscovium), 116 (Livermorium), 117 (Tennessine), and 118 (Oganesson), which have been officially named. However, newer elements beyond these, such as those in the synthetic range (atomic numbers 119 and above), have not yet been discovered or confirmed, and thus do not have permanent names. The naming process for new elements typically involves extensive research and consensus within the scientific community.


How do you find the atomic number number of an element?
