The first element to be produced artificially was technetium. It was first synthesized in 1937 by Carlo Perrier and Emilio Segrè.
Neon is a noble gas, which means it is colorless, odorless, and mostly inert. It is typically used in neon signs for its bright red-orange glow when ionized. Neon is also used in certain types of lighting, vacuum tubes, and plasma displays.
Ytterbium is a naturally occurring element found in the Earth's crust. It is a lanthanide metal and is typically extracted from mineral ores such as monazite and xenotime.
No, sulfur is a naturally occurring element found in the earth's crust. It is not man-made.
