Six elements on the periodic table were discovered by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. They are americium (95), berkelium (97), californium (98), einsteinium (99), fermium (100), and seaborgium (106).
Approx. 25 chemical elements were known in 1800.
Over 11 chemical elements have been discovered at Stanford University, including nobelium, lawrencium, and seaborgium.
There were 102 known elements on the periodic table in 1960.
All chemical elements after uranium and promethium, technetium.
The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories was involved in the discoveries and studies of many heavy artificial elements.
Berkellum
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.
Now are known 118 chemical elements.
No one knows how many elements are left to discover.
75 dissolved chemical elements
There were 118 discovered elements in the periodic tableÊas of 2008. However, some of these elements still have ongoing disputes.
