No, not particularly. For those beyond a certain point, you actually need to create the precursors first and then combine them again.

Answer (True/False):

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

Atomic number defines the number of electrons and protons in an atom. where as synthesizes means to produce something chemically. Keeping both the statements in view, it is not easier to synthesize new elements with a large number of electrons and protons. Though this process can be done for the small atomic numbers.
