There are exotic atoms in that chemical formula that aren’t in the periodic table. Not even if you count the equivalent table of potential antimatter atoms.
Muonium is sure to exist in non-zero quantities at any one time, for example.
That’s just impurities
“Approximate chemical formula”
Still can’t find blackholium, what element number is it?
-1
-1 would be antihydrogen. Blackholium is whatever number is large enough to cause gravitational collapse, so probably one or two more than the largest neutron star.

What about elements beyond 119?
And neutron stars.
