Eka-Elements as Chemical Pure Possibilities

From Mendeleev’s time on, the Periodic Table has been an attempt to exhaust all the chemical possibilities of the elements and their interactions, whether these elements are known as actual or are not known yet as such. These latter elements are called “eka-elements” and there are still many of them in the current state of the Table. There is no guarantee that all of them will be eventually discovered, synthesized, or isolated as actual. As long as the actual existence of eka-elements is predicted, they cannot be considered as actual but only as purely possible. Given that eka-elements are chemical individual pure possibilities, panenmentalism, at least as a philosophy of science, can gain support as well as an important implication.
