Not natural or genuine; artificial or contrived.
It's something that has not been brought on by natural events. Sort of like synthetic leather.

∙ 16y agoSynthetic refers to any material made from non natural sources. This means that a product such as cloth is made from a chemical source rather than the fibers produced by nature. Cotton, linen, and rubber are natural sources for clothing production. Rayon, nylon, and plastics are chemical compounds which are made from sources that are not produced from the ground. Oil products are particularly of concern simply because of their chemical composition. These products do not decompose because they are chemically produced. Another definition of synthetic is any product that cannot decompose because of it's combined components without chemical help.

∙ 15y agoSimply put, synthetic chemistry is the study/practice of chemistry as related to synthesizing (fancy word for "making") new chemicals. If someone is a synthetic chemist, they focus their efforts on making "stuff." It is the variability of the word "stuff" that makes synthetic chemistry different across the spectrum.
For example, a pharmaceutical chemist (a chemist who makes drugs) is a synthetic chemist. A polymer chemist (a chemist who makes polymers such as Rayon or Nylon) is a synthetic chemist.
Synthetic chemistry is a very broad term but focuses of the actual making new or variations of existing chemical stuffs.

Which of the free radicals reactions are commercially important?
There are many different free radical chain reactions used in making polymers -- such as nylon and other synthetic materials.
What is the process of gasification?
The process of gasification is when carbon containing feedstock is turned into synthetic gas. The process of gasification is accomplished through a set of chemical reactions.
Why do you use both natural and synthetic rubber?
Natural rubber is made from latex which is taken from trees and is widely used in many products to this day. Synthetic rubber is preferable in most applications today due to the fact that it is more durable than natural rubber and the chances of allergic reactions are smaller.
Antibiotics for human use are chemicals produced by?
antibiotics can be obtained from micro organisms by fermentation or by semisynthetically and those can be called as natural. and some antibiotics can be prepared synthetically by series of chemical reactions. those are synthetic antibiotics. penicillin is natural antibiotic which is obtained from P. notatum so it is natural antibiotic. and chloramphenicol is synthetic
Is Valium a synthetic or a natural?
synthetic
Where are synhetic elements made from?
Synthetic elements are obtained by nuclear reactions.

What type of reactions is most likely to occur when barium reacts with fluorine?
I think it's a synthetic reaction
What is a synthetic biochemical reaction?
In chemistry, chemical synthesis is purposeful execution of chemical reactions to get a product, or several products
Disadvantages of using microwave irradiation for synthetic reactions?
i think is not good method because you can lose yield quicker
What has the author Ngampong Tongpenyai written?
Ngampong Tongpenyai has written: 'Synthetic applications of catalytic hydrogen transfer reactions'
Is francium synthetic?
1. Francium exist naturally, but in infinitesimally concentrations, in uranium ores. 2. Francium can be obtained also artificially, by nuclear reactions.

What percentage makes a synthetic oil synthetic?
Synthetic is 100% synthetic. There are blends sold that are part synthetic & regular oil. Look for a quart that sates FULL or 100% Synthetic. If it says Synthetic Blend then it is not 100% Synthetic.Synthetic is 100% synthetic. There are blends sold that are part synthetic & regular oil. Look for a quart that sates FULL or 100% Synthetic.
