How might synthetic elements be harmful?
Synthetic elements might be harmful if they are ingested or inhaled. The elements can cause damage to the lungs, brains, and heart.
Why are synthetic elements dangerous?
While there are some stable synthetic elements (eg technetium) and also naturally occurring elements which are radioactively unstable (eg radium), synthetic elements are more likely to be radioactively unstable. Their decay process produces radioactive emissions which are hazardous.
What is the difference between an element and a native element?
Elements can either be synthetic or natural. Synthetic elements are made artificially in laboratories, while natural elements exist in their natural state in nature. Natural elements can further be defined as native elements. These elements exist in their uncombined state.
What elements are synthetic elements?
Sythetic elements are those with half lifes to small to be found in nature, they are manmade and generally fairly unstable. The synthetic elements are: All elements with atomic numbers 1 through 98 are naturally occurring at least in trace quantities, but the following elements are usually produced through synthesis. Except for francium, they were all discovered through synthesis before being found in nature.Element nameChemical SymbolAtomic NumberFirst definite discoveryTechnetiumTc431936PromethiumPm611945AstatineAt851940FranciumFr871939NeptuniumNp931940PlutoniumPu941940AmericiumAm951944CuriumCm961944BerkeliumBk971949CaliforniumCf981950 The following elements do not occur naturally on Earth.

How reactive are the synthetic elements?
they are very reactive, because when the elements are spread go to facebook . com
Which elements have no useful purposes at all?
All elements have a useful purpose, including the synthetic actinides that have half-lives measured in milliseconds.
Do all synthetic elements have more than 92 elements?
All the synthetic elements on the Periodic Table appear after Uranium (atomic no. 92). These are the only synthetic elements.
Synthetic elements are formed by experimentation?
Yes, all synthetic elements are man made.
How might synthetic elements be harmful?
Synthetic elements might be harmful if they are ingested or inhaled. The elements can cause damage to the lungs, brains, and heart.
What are elements called that are created by main in a laboratory?
Synthetic or man-made elements. Obviously synthetic sounds significantly cooler.
What is synthetic elements reactivity?
