Answer:

92

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 118 known elements so far. However, the last elements are man-made. There are only 92 elements that occur naturally. These are Hydrogen through Uranium.

92 !
Elements 1 through 92 (except for elements 43 and 61) occur naturally on Earth, although some are only present in extremely small quantities. The elements following uranium on the periodic table are only produced artificially, and are known as the transuranium or transuranic elements.
