QUESTION: Given the atomic number of the elements in the periodic table, how would you relate it to
the synthesis of the elements you have listed in the table?

When the known elements were listed in the form of the Periodic Table by atomic number, it became clear
that there were gaps. The quest was on since it appeared that these were previously unknown components.
Indeed, additional components were identified, and gaps were filled. Initially, there was no way to synthesize
additional components. This became possible when our understanding of nuclear physics advanced over the
twentieth century, and nuclear technologies that permitted nuclear fusion and fission were created.
