Unveiling the Secrets of the Periodic Table

🔢 There are currently 118 known chemical elements, with each element having one more proton than the previous one.

📏 The periodic table is finite because atoms with an infinite number of protons are impossible.

🧲 Neutrons balance out the repulsion between protons and keep them together in the atomic nucleus.

⚛️ Elements with more than 82 protons are unstable and eventually convert into lead.

🔬 Radioactive atoms undergo transmutation and lose protons to become lighter elements.

⏲️ The period of semidisintegration represents the time it takes for half of a radioactive element's mass to convert into another.

🌍 Our planet still has half of its original uranium, while the rest has transformed into other elements.

⚛️ Atoms with more protons are more unstable and transform into other elements more quickly.

☢️ Elements with over 100 protons are so unstable that they have extremely short lifetimes.

🔑 The known stable elements follow a diagonal line that ends at 82 protons.

⚛️ Elements with more protons and neutrons are more stable and have longer half-lives.

🌊 There may be islands of stability in an ocean of instability, where superheavy elements could exist.

🔬 There may be an island of stability in the periodic table for super heavy elements.

⚛️ Adding more neutrons to atoms can increase their stability.

⚗️ There are estimated to be a few dozen super heavy elements left to discover.

🔍 Current particle accelerators are unable to create elements beyond 118 protons

🌌 Supernovas and neutron star collisions may produce superheavy elements

💫 The mysterious Sibilski star contains unstable elements and could hold elements from an island of stability

🌌 The elements from the islands of stability would be super scarce and super radioactive, making them unlikely to be seen in everyday life.

🎯 We already know all the useful elements, so in a way, we know the entire periodic table.

🪐 When exploring the universe, we can rely on our knowledge of chemistry to obtain the necessary resources for survival on other planets.
