All these elements are raidoactive, and will decay with the emission of alpha, beata or gamma radiation.

How any elements are in the periodic table?

I know that there are over a hundred but you can't always say because when more elements are discovered they are put on the periodic table on the standard table there are 118,


What elements are out of order in terms of the atomic mass?

In the periodic table, elements are generally arranged by increasing atomic number, but some are out of order based on atomic mass due to isotopes and electron configurations. Notably, elements like potassium (K) and argon (Ar) are examples where potassium (atomic mass ~39.1) appears before argon (atomic mass ~39.9), even though argon has a higher atomic mass. This occurs because the periodic table prioritizes the atomic number (number of protons) over atomic mass when ordering elements. Other examples include isotopes and the placement of certain transition metals.


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 in the periodic table are not man made?

92 Today natural elements are considered the elements up to the atomic number 98; but the elements with atomic numbers 43, 61 and 93-98 exist only in extremely traces, as a curiosity in uranium deposits. Of course they can be obtained also by man made nuclear reactions. Consequently man made elements must be considered only the elements with the atomic number over 98: some examples are meitnerium, bohrium, flerovium.


Why are elements atomic mass not in strict increasing order in the periodic table?

Elements in the periodic table are arrange by atomic number (number of protons) because various isotopes of elements exist with different atomic masses (atomic mass being determined by the number of neutrons added to the number of protons). The chemical properties are mainly dependent on the electrons, or in some cases the charge of the protons, which is independent of the number of neutrons.

Changes in the Periodic Table over time?

The periodic table has evolved over time as new elements have been discovered and our understanding of atomic structure has improved. Elements have been reorganized based on their atomic number instead of atomic weight, and new elements have been added as they were synthesized in laboratories. The table has also been expanded to include more information about each element, such as atomic structure and properties.

How many elements are man made?

21 --- Elements with the atomic number between 98 and 118; other elements as Pm, Tc, Pu, Np, Cm, Am, Bk were first obtained in laboratory and only after they were discovered in nature in extremely low traces.


How did chemists organize the elements that were known?

Chemists organized the elements by properties, specifically by atomic mass, to create the periodic table. This organization allowed them to identify patterns and trends among elements based on their chemical behavior. The periodic table was further refined over time as new elements were discovered and their properties were better understood.

What are diifferent between mass number and atomic number?

The atomic number represents the number of protons in the nucleus. It determines what element you're talking about. Numbered from 1 to over 100. The mass number represents the total of protons AND neutrons in the nucleus. It is close to (not the same as) the atomic mass. Isotopes can have different mass numbers but belong to the same element (same atomic number). The number of neutrons (not having a special 'name') varies from 0 to over 150.


Scientists have discovered just over different elements with unique properties.?

Scientists have discovered just over 118 different elements with unique properties. These elements have diverse characteristics that make them essential building blocks of the universe. Each element is identified by its atomic number, which determines its placement in the periodic table.


What is the atomic number for coal?

Coal is a fossil fuel composed mainly of carbon, so it does not have an atomic number since it is not an element. It is made up of complex organic compounds formed from plant material over millions of years.


How many elements are unnamed?

The number of unnamed elements are thirteen.Now it can be named by a latin numerals think so.Because the elements which are unnamed is found very very low in earth.As so we did not calculate the accure mass & some data.So we use it as the numeral system
