Why aren't there an infinite amount of elements that exist? Why only 118?
I wanted to ask you about something that's been on my mind. Why aren't there an infinite amount of elements that exist? Why only 118?
Great question! There are many factors that contribute to why there are only 118 elements that exist. One reason is that each element is made up of a specific number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Once you get to a certain point, it becomes unstable and difficult to create more elements. Additionally, discovering new elements is a complicated and expensive process, so there hasn't been much incentive to create more.
