In alchemy they tried to make GOLD from base metals., not understaning the nuclear structure of atoms.
The science once known as alchemy has for the most part evolved in to modern chemistry. Both share the same word etymology, but there are some major differences between the two sciences, and both emphasize upon these differences. However, alchemy is a science that is seldom practiced in the modern era.
No, though a modern form of alchemy would be nuclear physics. Nuclear bomb making and that sort of stuff.
Alchemy began it's decline during the 18th century due to the birth of modern chemistry.
Alchemy in the Middle Ages was a mixture of science, philosophy and mysticism. Far from operating within the modern definition of a scientific discipline, medieval alchemists approached their craft with a holistic attitude; they believed that purity of mind, body and spirit was necessary to pursue the alchemical quest successfully. - Capitalist posterity has popularized the notion of alchemy as having been the attempt by medieval dopes to transmute base metals such as lead and copper into silver and gold. But the original esoteric study of alchemy involved the idea of spiritual transformation and examined the interrelationships between the natural and supernatural worlds.

you cannot create gold in alchemy it is just a myth.Answer:Alchemy was the forerunner of the modern science of chemistry. The Alchemists put most of their attention into figuring out two tasks - living forever and turning common metals into gold.Both these tasks could be accomplished by (in their opinion) finding the Philosopher's Stone. Failing that they tried all manner of chants and spells featuring rare cstly and disgusting animal parts and poisons.
Alchemy. it was essentially a quack science but did influence modern Chemistry.
Lavoisier is considered between the founders of modern chemistry; he broke away from alchemy and false medieval science.
Alchemy is an influential philosophical tradition whose early practitioners' claims to profound powers were known from antiquity. Several definitions of alchemy exist. Originally, alchemy was an ancient tradition of sacred chemistry used to discern the spiritual and temporal nature of reality, its structure, laws, and functions. Alchemy is often considered a predecessor to the modern science of chemistry.
