Solution

There are 118 elements in the periodic table.

  • The Father of the Periodic Table, Dimitri Mendeleev, proposed the initial version of the Periodic Table. The atomic masses of the elements were used to create this periodic table.
  • Only half of the elements known to us now were known during his time, and not all of the information regarding elements was complete or correct.
  • Henry Moseley's current periodic rule provides the basis for the most recent Periodic Table.
  • Elements' characteristics are periodic functions of their atomic numbers, according to the periodic law.

Therefore, there are 118 elements in the Periodic Table.
