Abelson. The transuranium elements are elements with atomic number greater than that of uranium (Z=92), the naturally occurring element of greatest Z. List of the transuranic elements by chemical series: 93 neptunium Np; 94 plutonium Pu; 95 americium Am; 96 curium Cm; 97 berkelium Bk; 98 californium Cf; 99 einsteinium Es; 100 fermium Fm etc.
