Understand that naturally occurring elements are those that can be found in nature without artificial synthesis.
Recall that the periodic table consists of elements that are either naturally occurring or synthetic.
Identify that the naturally occurring elements range from Hydrogen (atomic number 1) to Uranium (atomic number 92).
Recognize that elements with atomic numbers greater than 92 are typically synthetic and not found naturally.
Conclude that there are 92 naturally occurring elements on the periodic table, from Hydrogen to Uranium.
