Here's why:
* Atomic Number: The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
* Periodic Table: The periodic table is organized by atomic number, with elements increasing in number as you move across and down the table.
* Current Limits: The heaviest known element is Oganesson (Og), with an atomic number of 118. Scientists are still working on synthesizing elements beyond this point, but none have been confirmed for atomic numbers 119 and beyond.
Important Note: While there is no element with an atomic number of 168 yet, it's possible that it could be discovered or synthesized in the future.
