I can't find it now no matter what, but there is a video in here somewhere where professor talks exactly about that http://www.youtube.com/user/periodicvideos

I rememebr he says something about higher you go in the periodic table you add more electron to the shell and there is only a finite amount of space in there, and at the time, highest element had all of the slots filled in and then something weird about electron orbit.. ugh and I have watched it just the other day.. but there it is, and all of the videos are very interesting (at least to me)

edit: here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Stxor9L00BU&feature=chann... - a video about element 118 and professor gets asked how can they know there are only 118 elements in about a minute in video

and here is an edited video of all 118 elements they have explained http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFsdbLFHgY8&feature=relat...
