Understand that the periodic table is a chart that organizes all known chemical elements based on their atomic number, electron configurations, and recurring chemical properties.
Recall that the atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, and each element has a unique atomic number.
Recognize that the periodic table currently includes all elements that have been discovered and confirmed, including both naturally occurring and synthetic elements.
Note that the highest atomic number element officially recognized as of now is element 118, known as Oganesson (Og).
Therefore, the total number of elements represented on the periodic table is approximately 118.
