The superheavy elements (also known as the transactinide elements) in the periodic table include the 15 chemical elements from atomic number 104 to 118: rutherfordium (Rf), dubnium (Db), seaborgium (Sg), bohrium (Bh), hassium (Hs), meitnerium (Mt), darmstadtium (Ds), roentgenium (Rg), copernicium (Cn), nihonium (Nh), flerovium (Fl), moscovium (Mc), livermorium (Lv), tennessine (Ts), and oganesson (Og).
All superheavy elements are transuranium elements, as these elements have an atomic number higher than 92. In the periodic table, these superheavy elements are found immediately after the actinides.
