No, there is no element with an atomic number of zero on the periodic table of elements. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, and every element has at least one proton. Protons are fundamental particles with positive charge and are essential for defining an element.

The periodic table starts with hydrogen, which has an atomic number of 1, indicating one proton in its nucleus. Elements with higher atomic numbers have progressively more protons. The atomic numbers of elements on the periodic table range from 1 to 118, representing the known elements

It's important to note that elements with zero atomic number do not exist because atomic number represents the fundamental nature of an element, and having zero protons would mean it does not have the defining characteristics of any element.
