certainty that no one will discover an element

Answer:

The nucleus of a sulfur atom contains 16 protons.

The nucleus of a chlorine atom contains 17 protons.

Explanation:

Atoms are arranged in the Periodic Table according to the number of protons in their nuclei — their atomic numbers.

A proton is an integral particle —  you can't have half a proton.

S and Cl are adjacent in the Periodic Table, so it is impossible to find an element that will fit between them.
