As of now, scientists recognize 118 elements in the Periodic Table, of which 80 occur naturally on Earth. These naturally occurring elements range from hydrogen, the lightest, to uranium, the heaviest. Some of these elements, like technetium and promethium, are radioactive and have no stable isotopes, so they are typically produced synthetically. However, the majority of naturally occurring elements can be found in various forms in the environment.

How many naturally occurring atoms exist?

There are 92 naturally occurring elements, with a total of 118 naturally occurring elements in the periodic table. Each element is composed of atoms with a specific number of protons in the nucleus that determines its identity.


Who is the scientist that claim that life exists on mars?

Me. But on a serious note, there are many scientists and I do not know all of them, there are too many to name. It is not just one scientist and many do. Also it is not simply claiming the "is" life, but seeing if there is. Nobody knows for sure, we just want to know and see if there is.

If atoms can't be viewed with a microscope is there a further tool with which they can be viewed and might this be a radiation based synchrotron or something?

As far as I know, atoms can't be seen with anything, but scientist are sure that they exists. That is done by lots of experiment, which back up their theory that atoms exists.


How does spectral analysis allow scientist to know what elements make up a star or rock layer?

It allows scientists to see how hot that star is and what spectrum it has.


Who invented potasium?

Potassium is a naturally occurring element, which means that unlike "man made" or synthetic elements, it does not require inventing. Potassium was discovered by British scientist Sir Humphry Davy in the early 1800's. The process that created natural occurring elements like potassium, silicon, oxygen, etc. occurred billions of years ago. After the big bang, the event that formed our universe, small atoms like hydrogen and helium were the only elements in the universe. However, the creation of the first stars created an environment which was hot enough to cause nucleosynthesis: the process of creating heavier elements from smaller ones. As older stars died, they released new/heavier elements into the universe. These new/larger elements were then integrated into new stars, where they were made into even larger elements. This process continued for generation after generation of stars until the present. We currently know of 92 naturally occurring elements. This means that all of the naturally occurring elements on earth, including Potassium, actually come from stars. hope this helps :D
