[Chat] [Discussion] Tom Lehrer's Elements song

[Stephen J Gewirtz]

Judy,

There are 92 that occur naturally, plus others like plutonium (used in 
bombs) that are produced in nuclear reactors.  Some exist only for a 
fraction of a second before they decay (and I'm not sure how they are 
produced or detected).  But there now are more than 100; I'm not sure 
how many.  But the graphics in the song list those discovered since the 
song was written.

Steve.
