What is the highest possible element?

The heaviest element found in any appreciable amount in nature is uranium, atomic number 92. (The atomic number refers to the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.) Beyond that, scientists must create new elements in accelerators, usually by smashing a beam of light atoms into a target of heavy atoms.

Is element 138 possible?

Untrioctium, Uto, is the temporary name for element 138. Isotopes are predicted in the bands 451Uto to 395Uto, 371Uto to 365Uto, and 359Uto. There may be isotopes in the band from the neutron dripline to 452Uto, but it is not possible to predict which ones are possible.

What is the final element?

Element 118, the final element in our International Year of the Periodic Table series, is oganesson. Oganesson was discovered in 2002 and its properties defy our expectations based on trends in the periodic table. Oganesson has several distinctions amongst all of the elements in the periodic table.

Why can there only be 137 elements?

Because electrons have non zero rest mass, they cannot exceed the vacuum speed of light according to Einstein's theory of relativity. Thus, atoms with Z > 137 cannot exist.

Can new elements be created?

New elements aren't exactly discovered anymore. However, they can be made, using particle accelerators and nuclear reactions. A new element is made by adding a proton (or more than one) or neutron to a pre-existing element.

Can elements be created?

Man-made elements

Scientists discovered that, by allowing fast neutrons to collide with the common isotope of uranium known as U-238 in a nuclear reactor, the 'new' element plutonium was made. By smashing atoms together in machines known as particle accelerators, it was discovered that new elements could be made.
