Elements with atomic numbers greater than that of ura­nium do not exist in any appreciable amounts in nature because they have short half-lives. Yet there are several ele­ments with atomic numbers smaller than that of uranium that have equally short half-lives and that do exist in appre­ciable amounts in nature. How can you account for this?
