A color-coded periodic table of the elements displays each element's symbol and atomic number, with categories such as alkali metals, noble gases, halogens, transition metals, and actinoid elements distinguished by different background colors. — transuranium element Modern version of the periodic table of the elements (printable).

Elements with atomic numbers greater than 92 are known as transuranium elements. These elements are all radioactive and are primarily produced synthetically through nuclear reactions, as only trace amounts of neptunium and plutonium occur in nature.12

The known transuranium elements include:

Actinoids (atomic numbers 93–103): neptunium (93), plutonium (94), americium (95), curium (96), berkelium (97), californium (98), einsteinium (99), fermium (100), mendelevium (101), nobelium (102), and lawrencium (103).13
Transactinoids (atomic numbers 104 and higher): rutherfordium (104), dubnium (105), seaborgium (106), bohrium (107), hassium (108), meitnerium (109), darmstadtium (110), roentgenium (111), copernicium (112), element 113 (113), flerovium (114), element 115 (115), livermorium (116), element 117 (117), and element 118 (118).13

Scientific theory suggests that additional elements with even higher atomic numbers may exist, potentially up to 170–210, provided they are not precluded by nuclear instability.1
