Element is synthetic?

There are a number of synthetic elements. And a few that are what is called quasi-synthetic. The synthetic ones aren't found in nature. And it could be said that the quasi-synthetic ones are found in nature in only the barest trace amounts. The nice folks at Wikipedia have posted a comprehensive list, and a link is provided. That way you can scan the list quickly, and you will have the added advantage of being able to link to any element that looks interesting. Yes, that's right. All the elements on the list are actually hyperlinks to the Wikipedia article on that element. How cool is that?!


The purpose of synthetic elements?

Some elements can't be found on Earth but are able to exist. That's why scientists make them. They are called synthetic because they were man made. These include elements 43, 61 and 84-118. These are technetium, Promethium and Polonium to Ununoctium. Elements 111-118 aren't identified as real elements yet.


What describes elements that are made in particle accelerators and are not found in nature?

The elements formed in particle accelerators are usually called Synthetic Elements or Artifically Produced Elements. They are all Transuranium Elements (higher on the periodic table than Uranium), and twenty have been produced so far. Most of them disintegrate within a fraction of a second, some of them in such a short time that it is difficult to verify whether an element has been created or not.


What is the difference between a synthetic element and a natural element?

The difference between naturally occuring and synthetic elements is that synthetic elements can't be found naturally - they can only be synthesised by man. Elements after no. 92 (Uranium) are all synthetic.


How can synthetic elements be utilized in various applications and industries?

Synthetic elements can be used in a variety of applications and industries due to their unique properties. For example, they can be used in nuclear reactors for energy production, in medicine for diagnostic imaging and cancer treatment, and in electronics for creating advanced materials. Their ability to exhibit specific characteristics makes them valuable in research and development, as well as in manufacturing processes.

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.


What are all synthetic elements?

Radioactive


After which number are all elements synthetic?

92


What is the name of the series which contains most of the synthetic and radioactive elements?

All of the actinides are radioactive, and almost all are synthetic.


What group on the periodic table are synthetic elments?

Technetium (43), Promethium (61), and all the transuranic elements are synthetic.


Synthetic elements are found in what group?

Synthetic elements are found in the group of transuranium elements, which are elements with atomic numbers higher than uranium (92) on the periodic table. These elements are artificially created in a laboratory through nuclear reactions and have unstable nuclei.


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.


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.


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.

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.


What elements is radioactive and synthetic barrium cesium currium and xenon?

Curium {Note correct spelling} is only element in the list given that is radioactive and synthetic.^ not correct answer and not even spelled right the correct answer is "lawrencium"The rare earth elements are located at the bottom of the periodic table and are comprised of the lanthanoid series and the actinoid series.The actinoid series is the second row of rare earth elements. All of these elements are radioactive, and all of these elements (except actinium, thorium, protactinium, and uranium) are synthetic.
