The amount of heat and pressure necessary to fuse elements would be that found in stars. So yes but only in very extreme conditions. The amount of heat and pressure necessary to fuse elements would be that found in stars. So yes but only in very extreme conditions.
Gold is gold...a gold compound has other atoms bonded to the gold atoms, but the gold atoms don't really change.
No it's the other way around. Elements are made up of atoms.
Dalton predicted that the atom of any element are different from the atoms of all other elements.
when they are in contact
Apart from the inert gases which are monoatomic all of the other elements bond to themselves and to atoms of other elements.
Atoms of elements in group 18 (noble gases) do not easily combine with other elements to form compounds.

Gold is a "Noble Metal", which means its atoms do not readily share electrons with atoms of other elements.
because some atoms are bigger than others
both other elements and carbon
It's not the atoms that change, it is the molecules... In short, the molecules(elements) can share, give, or take electrons from other molecules(elements).
