How come there are no gaps in the table? If there are 118 elements currently, and the next element to be discovered/created has an atomic number of 120, would there just be a gap at 119th position?
How come we managed to find/create every element without any gaps in the periodic table?
In: 104
Iirc it basically comes down to we can do the math for these elements you speak of and they can’t exist on earth but we haven’t traveled through out space and time yet and that’s what the whole point of chemistry and physics when it gets to a certain degree
Edit : but they may exist elsewhere
