You'd need to either discover them or create them. All elements with atomic numbers 1 through 116 have been discovered or synthetically created, as well as 118. 117 hasn't officially been observed, however.

∙ 14y agoIf you will have a look on the Periodic Table linked below, you will see the blank places after Meitnerium (atomic number 109) - that is where the new ones go. I assume the element after ununoctium (118) i.e. Atomic number 119, will go under Francium.

∙ 13y agoIn order for a new element to be added to the periodic table of the elements, scientists must confirm that the element exists, by observing it. Since all the stable elements have already been observed and duly added to the table, we have only unstable, heavy elements to potentially add, and these are not going to be found in nature, they can only be observed by creating them in the laboratory. So that's how it works; you can create a new element, observe it (ideally, measuring as many relevant characteristics as possible, such as melting point, density, half-life, etc.) and add it to the table.

How many number of compounds are there?
There are over 67 million organic and inorganic substances and 63 million protein and DNA sequences recognized by the American Chemical Society's CAS Registry. It is estimated that 12,000 new substances are added to the list daily.
First person to arrange elements in a table?
Dmitri MendeleevIn ancient Greece, Aristotle postulated that there were four elements (fire, water, earth, air) and arranged these accordingly. Later on when science began to theorize (and later prove) the existence of atomic elements without the benefit of knowing the subatomic properties involved, people sorted them in many different ways.In 1829 Döbereiner proposed the Law of Triads: The middle element in the triad had atomic weight that was the average of the other two members.The English chemist John Newlands, noticed in 1865 that when placed in order of increasing atomic weight, elements of similar physical and chemical properties recurred at intervals of eight, which he likened to the octaves of music. As knowledge about subatomic particles increased, this system proved unreliable and fell into disfavor.The modern periodic table of elements which is based on both atomic weights and chemical properties was developed by Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev in 1869. Four months later, a German professor Julius Lothar Meyer independently developed a periodic table similar to Mendeleev's.However, Mendeleev plotted a few elements out of strict mass sequence in order to make a better match to the properties of their neighbors in the table, corrected mistakes in the values of several atomic masses, and predicted the existence and properties of a few new elements in the empty cells of his table. Mendeleev was later vindicated by the discovery of the electronic structure of the elements in the late 19th and early 20th century.Mendeleev's periodic table also successfully predicted the future discovery of several elements, and has thus become the de-facto standard for the organization and display of the elements.The person you're looking for is Gregor Mendeleev.
A scientist claims to have discovered a new element that should be inserted between nitrogen and oxygen in the periodic table is it likely that a mistake has been made?
atoms on ther periodic table are listed by numbers of protons (atomic numbers). nitrogen has the atomic number 7, oxygen is 8. Since there are no parts of protons in the nucleus, there can be no new kind of atom between these two kinds of atom. great question
How do elements sodium and chlorine differ from the table salt form?
sodium is not eatible nor is chlorine. Chlorine is a chemical and when mixed with the sodium it forms a new eatible compound and this is salt or table salt.
How many different elements do we know about?
At present (2013) the Periodic Table lists 118 elements in total. A small number of these are not naturally occuring and have only been synthesised under laboratory conditions and only in exceptionally minute quantities. Elements consist of particles called atoms that consist of protons, electrons and optionally neutrons. Protons and neutrons are in the core of the atom, while electrons reside on different energy levels in a cloud around the core. The atomic number of the element is determined by the number of protons in the core. The lightest, simplest element in the universe is hydrogen-1, which consists of one proton and one electron. There are also isotopes (different types) of hydrogen that have one or two neutrons in the core. Since the number of protons defines the element, we can create a different element by adding more protons to the core. To make the new element an atom, we need to add a corresponding number of electrons, since protons are positively and electrons are negatively charged and an atom is always neutrally charged. The more protons and neutrons you add to a core, the bigger it gets. When the core gets bigger, it also gets more unstable. This puts limits to what kind of elements occur in nature and also causes some elements to be radioactive. The number of different elements that are proven to exist is 118, with the largest atom being number 118 (temporary name ununoctium), since element number 119 is yet to be found. As of 2012, 55 hypothetical elements are being created.
When new elements are placed into the periodic table what happens?
If new elements are placed, then they would be appended in the periodic table. It won't disturb existing periodic table.
What is a group of elements in the periodic table?
A group is a column in the periodic table of elements.
How many elements were there on the periodic table in 1960?
There were 102 known elements on the periodic table in 1960.
In the new numbering system for the periodic table the transition elements are the ones in groups through?
Transition metals are placed in groups 3 to 12.
Will the periodic table always look the same?
No, because as the days and years go past, more scientists will find out more information on the periodic table. When they find out information on the periodic table, sometimes new elements are found, adding new elements on the periodic table causes it to change.
Who wrote or found the periodic table of elements?
The periodic table of elements was created by Dmitri Mendeleev, a Russian chemist, in 1869. He arranged the elements based on their atomic mass and properties, and left gaps for elements that were yet to be discovered. Over time, new elements were discovered and added to the periodic table by various scientists.
What are the elements whose discovery added an entirely new row to Mendeleev's periodic table?
The Noble Gases, It added a new "Group" to the periodic Table.
Development of periodic table?
The modern periodic table of the elements was published by Dimitri Mendeleev in 1869. Several new elements have been discovered and added to the table since then.
How did the table of elements change each time you added new elements?
The system of the periodic table is not changed after the addition of a new element.
How did table of elements change each time you added new elements?
The system of the Periodic Table is not changed after the addition of a new element.
What is the difference between the new and old periodic table?
Well, Back when Medeleev made this table, many of the elements were not even discovered yet. He plotted only the elements that he knew on his table. He organized them by increasing atomic weight. He didn't know all the elements so he would put question marks and empty spaces in the spots he thought elements would be and left to be found by other scientist. He happened to be true about the missing elements and that scientist did end up finding these "missing links" of the periodic table and led to the new or modern periodic table. The modern periodic table doesnt have any missing elements and they changed Medeleev's way of organizing the table by increasing atomic weight to increasing atomic number. So the newer form of the periodic table was complete and made it easier to find what elements react better with other elements. This making the modern table became the more efficent table of our time.
Did someone make the periodic table?
Yes, Dmitri Mendeleev made the Periodic Table of Elements, and interestingly enough, he did it without knowing all of the natural elements! As scientists discovered new elements, they realized the elements fit right into place on Dmitri's table.
