Compare the role of nuclear fusion in the formation of the earth's naturally occurring elements and in the creation of synthetic elements in the laboratory?
The range of elements found on earth were formed by some supernova explosion in the distant past, and somehow the earth was formed from the debris and then captured by the sun. Fusion must have been involved though the exact course of these events can only be surmised. Nuclear fusion has not been used on earth to create synthetic elements, and in fact has only been produced in a few places for very short times, less than one second. You are probably thinking of nuclear fission, where operation of nuclear reactors does produce synthetic elements such as plutonium. These are called the transuranic elements.
What is the type of nuclear reaction that results in the production of synthetic elements?
Nuclear Fusion.
What are the differences between natural radioactivity nd artificial radioactivity?
Natural Radioactivity arises from radioactive components contained in nature. Artificial Radioactivity will come through element produced with in nuclear reactors as well as accelerators. Natural Radioactivity is a spontaneous process of disintegration. Artificial Radioactivity is carried in synthetically produced radioactive elements used in nuclear reactors.
What are two elements used in nuclear reactors?
Uranium, and plutonium. (And, to a lessor degree, thorium.)
The differences between natural and artificial radioactivity?
Natural radioactivity arises from radioactive components contained in nature. Artificial radioactivity will come through, elements produced within nuclear reactors as well as accelerators.
Synthetic elements are produced in nuclear reactors and also by using what?
Particle Accelerators.
Where is synthetic elements made?
in nuclear reactors and particle accelerators
What machine makes most synthetic elements?
Synthetic elements are obtained: - in nuclear reactors - as a result (in debris) of nuclear weapons explosions - with the aid of particle accelerators
Are synthetic elements radioactive?
Synthetic elements are usually radioactive, but not necessarily so. It is conceivable for a non-radioactive neutral atom to be produced by a nuclear spallation reaction.

Why are synthetic elements made?
It depends on the element. Some synthetic elements can be made by bombarding the nucleus of a lighter element with protons or alpha particles. The heavier synthetic elements are made by colliding atomic nuclei with one another.
How is radioisotopes used in nuclear reactors?
Radioisotopes for many uses (e.g. medical, industrial, scientific) are produced in nuclear reactors.
Is plutonium produced only in breeder reactors?
No, plutonium is obtained in all the types of nuclear reactors.
How are nuclear reactors used in nuclear reactors?
Well, as nuclear reactors are nuclear reactors, nuclear reactors are not used inside nuclear reactors.
Compare the role of nuclear fusion in the formation of Earth's naturally occurring elements and in the creation of synthetic elements in the laboratory?
Creation of synthetic elements in the laboratory is not based on nuclear fusion.
How does power generates?
Submarines are powered by diesel fuel (in the past) or more recently by nuclear reactors. Nuclear reactors provide advantages in range and in noise produced.
Where are synhetic elements made from?
Synthetic elements are obtained by nuclear reactions.
