Answer 1

There are realatively few man made elements.

Lawrencium - Lr Rutherfordium - Rf Dubnium - Db Seaborgium - Sg Bohrium - Bh Hassium - Hs Meitnerium - Mt Americium - Am Curium - Cm Berkelium - Bk Californium -Cf Einsteinium - Es Fermium - Fm Mendelevium - Md Nobelium - No

(Two elements Plutonium and Neptunium were first made synthetically and then discovered in nature)

They are made as the by product of fission reactions or by matter accelerators. Most of them are so unstable they have half lives of less than a second.

Americium (Am) is used in smoke detectors and curium (Cm) and californium (Cf) are used for neutron radiography and neutron interrogation
