Anyone have a list of man made (replicated) elements?
jmanjohn said:Maybe a better title to my post would be "How many natural elements have been made by man..." and is there a list?
jmanjohn said:Meaning, natural elements have been created? What natural elements have been created by combining other elements(not by a star or exploding star)?
Man-made elements are chemical elements that do not occur naturally on Earth. They are created through artificial nuclear reactions in a laboratory setting.
Man-made elements are created through nuclear reactions, where the nuclei of different atoms are combined or split to form new elements. This process requires advanced technology and specialized equipment.
Man-made elements have a variety of uses in fields such as medicine, industry, and research. They can also provide valuable insights into the nature of matter and the universe.
Some examples of man-made elements include technetium, promethium, and neptunium. These elements have atomic numbers 43, 61, and 93, respectively, and do not occur naturally on Earth.
The creation of man-made elements can be dangerous due to the high levels of radiation involved in the nuclear reactions. Proper safety protocols and regulations must be followed to minimize the risks to scientists and the environment.
