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.

∙ 11y agonaturally occurring elements are bombarded with particles (alpha particles, protons and neutrons can be used). When absorbed, these cause a change in atomic number,thus a new element.

Where is synthetic elements made?
in nuclear reactors and particle accelerators
Which element is radioactive and synthetic?
All transuranic elements are synthetic and radioactive.
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.
What are elements that can not be found on earth and can be created called?
Synthetic elements are not found in nature but are created in laboratories.
Is slime a natural or synthetic polymer?
it is a synthetic polymer. depends on how you made it
Synthetic elements are formed by experimentation?
Yes, all synthetic elements are man made.
Where are synhetic elements made from?
Synthetic elements are obtained by nuclear reactions.
Are the synthetic elements true elements?
Yes, they are true chemical elements but man made.
What are elements called that are created by main in a laboratory?
Synthetic or man-made elements. Obviously synthetic sounds significantly cooler.
Where is synthetic elements made?
in nuclear reactors and particle accelerators
The term used to describe elements that are synthetic or man made?
They are called artificial chemical elements.
What ar elements that are made in labs?
Synthetic is the term you are looking for i believe.
What are elements called when they are found in nature?
Elements found in nature are referred to natural elements, as opposed to synthetic, which are man made.
Why transuranic element known synthetic elements?
Because these radioactive elements were obtained artificially, they are man made.
What is synthetic element?
a synthetic element is not naturally found in the earth, they are handmade elements. OR elements that do not occur naturally and that are made in laboratories.
What elements are considered synthetic elements?
Pretty much all elements after Uranium are synthetic (made by man) Any element above 94 (plutonium and neptunium were also discovered in extremely small concentrations in uranium minerals), are all considered synthetic since they do not occur naturally on the earth, but were made under laboratory conditions.
How are synthetic elements useful?
Synthetic Elements are used in smoke detectors.
