How are cyclotrons used to created synthetic elements?
charged particles of a cyclotron are given one pulse of energy after another making them speed up to very high energies. the particles then collide and fuse with atomic nuclei to produce synthetic elements
Which of the elements are used in make a synthetic rain?
When hydrogen and Oxygen are burnt together in a isolated environment to increase efficiency's you can produce water
How has technology helped in production of transuranic elements?
Technology has played a significant role in the production of transuranic elements by enabling advanced methods of nuclear synthesis. High-energy particle accelerators have been crucial in bombarding heavy target nuclei with protons or other particles to induce nuclear reactions that create transuranic elements. Additionally, sophisticated detection and measurement techniques, such as mass spectrometry and gamma-ray spectroscopy, have allowed scientists to identify and characterize these elements. Overall, technology has provided the tools necessary for the controlled production and study of transuranic elements.
What are elements combined to produce?
Chemical elements are combined to produce chemical compounds.
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 do all nuclear fission reactions produce?
All the nuclear fissions produce smaller elements from the larger element and few neutrons so that the fission reaction is continuously carried out.

What exactly is nuclear energy?
Certain elements such as Uranium 235 and Plutonium 239 give off neutrons. When a neutron hits them, they split into two or more elements and give off more neutrons. They also give off a lot of heat. That heat can be used to boil water. The steam produced can be used to spin turbines. The turbines can spin generators and produce electricity. Burning coal, oil, or gas, can be used to produce the heat to boil water to produce the steam to spin the turbines to spin the generators to produce the electricity. The advantage of nuclear energy is that it does not produce a waste material that is released into the atmosphere.
Is potassium natural or synthetic?
False. Potassium, elemental symbol K, is a naturally occurring metal. Synthetic elements in contrast include radioactive elements which may only exist for small amount of time in laboratory conditions.
What are elements combined to produce?
Chemical elements are combined to produce chemical compounds.
Can synthetic cannabis produce a high?
depending on what brand you buy yes it can produce a high

What is meant by bombarding a thin sheet of beryllium by alpha particles?
"Bombarding a thin sheet of beryllium by alpha particles" generates a neutron flux. In nuclear weapons design, it is sometimes necessary to produce a heavy flux of neutrons at just the right instant in time, relative to the assembly of super prompt critical mass. It turns out that beryllium is a good producer of neutrons when bombarded with alpha. The alpha source is often polonium. One design has the two in sheets that do not interact with each other, due to separation with gold and nickel, until the initiating shock wave compresses them together, along with the mass of fissile material, usually plutonium.
What fabric did Dupont produce in 1953?
Polyester, a synthetic fibre.
Is glucose a synthetic?
No, glucose is not a synthetic. It occurs in nature because all plants produce and contain it, which is typically ingested by animals.
