  element. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
These 6 extremely scarce elements and those that do not occur at all naturally were discovered when they were produced in the laboratory; they are often called the man-made, artificially produced, or synthetic elements.
The atomic weight of an element is the mean (weighted average) of the atomic masses of all the naturally occurring isotopes.
Elements with very similar chemical properties are often referred to as families; some families of elements include the halogens, the inert gases, and the alkali metals.

 Element, Chemical - Natural and synthetic elements, Classifying elements, Properties of the elements
Synthetic element: An element that is made artificially in a laboratory but is generally not found in nature.
Synthetic elements are usually produced in particle accelerators (devices used to increase the velocity of subatomic particles such as electrons and protons) or nuclear reactors (devices used to control the energy released by nuclear reactions).
The chemical symbol of an element is a letter or pair of letters that stands for some given amount of the element, for example, for one atom of the element.

 Synthetic element: Encyclopedia of chemistry, analytics & pharmaceutics with 64,564 entries.
These synthetic elements possess a half-life so short, relative to the age of the Earth that any atoms of these elements that may have existed when the Earth formed have long since decayed away.
For synthetic elements the isotope formed depends on the means of synthesis, so the concept of natural isotope abundance has no meaning.
Therefore for synthetic elements the total nucleon (protons plus neutrons) count of the most stable isotope (ie, the isotope with the longest half-life) is listed in brackets as the atomic mass.

 Chemistry : Periodic Table : darmstadtium : key information
Element 110, darmstadtium, is a synthetic element that is not present in the environment at all.
Unlike these lighter atoms, darmstadtium decays after a small fraction of a thousandth of a second into lighter elements by emitting α-particles which are the nuclei of helium atoms.
This is because atoms of the element decompose through the emission of α-particles with a half life of only about 270 microseconds.

 Synthetic Element Inventory
But, like (86)Radon which is in the news as a natural hazard even though it lives less than 4 days, traces occur in nature so we do not usually classify it as a synthetic element.
A few elements were so completely missing that only by deliberately arranging nuclear reactions did they get enough to see in a mass spectrometer.
A second decoration might be added to indicate presence in our planet's crust, maybe intensifying the color for the radioactive elements that have not been seen in ores, or maybe fading the few which you know can be derived from Uranium ore stockpiles.

 Chemistry : Periodic Table : bohrium : key information
Bohrium is a synthetic element that is not present in the environment at all.
IUPAC are happy to name an element after Bohr but suggest bohrium (Bh) on the grounds that the first name of a person does not appear in the names of any other element named after a person.
Only a few atoms of element 107, bohrium, have ever been made.

The heat of compression along with a chemical reaction between the platinum element and the methenol based fuel causes ignition.
Although castor oil is the traditional oil of choice, many fuels now contain synthetic oils or maybe a blend of castor and synthetic.
Synthetic oils overcome these disadvantages but may lack in protecting the engine at extreme temperatures due to the fact that they can vaporize.

Properties of these elements have been predicted from their positions in the periodic table; element 104 is expected to be chemically similar to hafnium, and element 105 to tantalum.
Elements in this series with atomic numbers greater than that of uranium (92) are called transuranium elements; they are not found (except in minute amounts) on earth, but have been prepared synthetically.
Elements with atomic numbers greater than 103 are not members of the actinide series; element 104 is the first of the transactinide elements.

The chemical elements labelled as "synthetic" are unstable, with a half-life so short (from a few million years to a fraction of millisecond) relative to the age of the Earth that any atoms of that element that may have been present when the Earth formed have long since completely decayed away.
The first synthetic element discovered was technetium, which filled a gap in the periodic table, and the discovery that there were no stable isotopes of technetium explained its absence on Earth: its 4.2 million year half-life meant that none remained from the time of formation of the Earth.

 CM Filters, Filter Tech
The element should not be affected by moisture which erodes paper elements, and it should withstand pressure surges without collapsing or rupturing.
CM elements filter out particles down to 8 microns, half the size of what the average spin-on filter does and has a flow rate even when contaminated, that is far greater than that required by any automotive application.
CM Elements can not be cleaned because they work on depth filtration design where particles are caught within millions of tiny passages which run through out the element.

 [No title]
An element is a substance that cannot be broken down into a simpler substance by ordinary chemistry -- heat, light, acids -- and every material thing in world is made up of combinations of about 90 elements.
The periodic table lists elements horizontally in order of their atomic number (number of protons in the nucleus), and vertically in order of the number of electrons around the nucleus.
When the researchers created element 114, they expected the atoms to have half-lives (the time it takes for half the atoms in a sample to decay) of microseconds, or even nanoseconds, but the atoms had half-lives of several seconds.

 Synthetic Standards for Cements and Associated Raw Materials - CEMOXI Standards and Axios-Cement XRF
CEMOXI is a set of synthetic standards together with an application set-up that will handle fused bead major element analysis of cement final product and cement raw materials.
Prior to fusion the standards are preignited at 800ºC, except for gypsum, which is dried at 500ºC. The use of synthetic standards, made from traceable compounds, brings this method significantly closer to being a primary analytical solution, rather than a strictly comparative method using CRMs as standards.
The accuracy of the Axios-Cement using CEMOXI and the SuperQ FP algorithm for major and minor element analyses in cements and related materials is phenomenal.

 How are synthetic elements made?
Keep in mind that the identity of an element is defined by the number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of the element.
Thus, in order to manufacture a new element, one that is not known in nature, we must create at least one atom whose atomic number (the number of protons in the nucleus) is different from any other known element.
Pay particular attention to the elements at the bottom of the periodic table, referred to as the Actinide Series, since these contain many, but not all, of the man-made transuranic elements (elements beyond uranium in the table).

 IBM SJ 45-2 | Generation of efficient parsers through direct compilation of XML Schema grammars
Any global element declaration may serve as the head of a substitution group, and any element with a properly derived type may declare itself to be substitutable for the head element.
To represent this explicitly in the compiler, we augment the element declaration component with a synthetic-content-model property that represents the expanded form of the element declaration (Figure 2).
In order to distinguish an element declaration (which is always considered to be the head of a substitution group) from the terms of this synthetic choice, we define a synthetic component called the Synthetic-Element, which like regular element declarations, wildcards, and model groups may be the term of any particle.
