Periodic Table: Task 1

1.Scientists have created all the elements beyond element 92. Find out how they have been made.

Scientists create heavy elements by bombarding two lighter elements that together add up to the mass of the desired new element. One of the elements is stationary and thus called the target. The other, called the projectile, is accelerated in a cyclotron or other type of particle accelerator and effectively shot into the first element. A tiny fraction of the time the two elements "stick" together and form the new element, which then quickly decays.
