elements are made in the cores of stars. There, the gravity and heat forces hydrogen nuclei so close together that the strong nuclear force bonds them together to form elements with a heavier nucleus. When hydrogen is bonded with another hydrogen necleus, it forms helium. 2 heliums atoms bonded forms lithium. 3, makes carbon. 4, oxygen.. so on and so on. This is how every element that exist was made. The periodic chart is simply an organized way of arranging these elements by the number of protons in it's nucleus.

Now I'm not sure, but I've heard that the electrical repulsion force between protons is exactly 1/92 of the strong nuclear force that holds a nucleus together... for this reason, elements with a higher number of protons than 92 in it's nucleus is unstable and decay into lighter elements.

All elements have a place on the periodic table, even if they have not yet been isolated.

Only elements up to Uranium occur naturally. This is because anything larger than uranium has no stable isotope, and so even if made in a supernova would quickly decay. So outside the Earth you will not find any element larger than uranium.

All elements that haven't been discovered yet are so highly unstable that they tear themselves appart as soon as they're created. And even those would go on the periodic table.

However, there is an element of which the only known source is outer space: Iridium. The only time we've ever found some on the earth is near asteroid impacts.

if there is when they find it they will add it to the table, or when they make it. Several elements have been added to the table in the last few decades after they made them in a lab. Also most tables will have a few theoretical elements they have not made yet on them.

The element in the vacuum that was a single point a few centimeters across and was able to compress its self, while in a vacuum, so much that it exploded must have been different.

Of course, the earth must be constructed from this element so it must be here but, it's still puzzling as to what it was.

If there was such an element that we knew of it would be in the periodic table. Therefore one can presume that the answer is NO.

No because every element in existace, either natural or artificial, is in the periodic table.

Possible. We dont have all the elements or the knowledge of all the elements.

ofcourse..y not !! humans havent explored each n evrything !! infact i think..there can be an element outdise the periodik table but on the earth itself !!
