Alchemists tried to make GOLD from base metals.
Scientists know that theoretically Gold can only be made by altering the number of protons in an atom. Alchemists did NOT know about protons etc., .
Alchemists. Alchemists.
The scientist were called Alchemists.
because of your mom
Cerium was not known by alchemists.
The alchemists were unaware that atoms even existed.
Most of the strongest Alchemists appear to be men.
Scientific names never differ among scientists.

Early chemists and alchemists were using chemical energy to try to transmute (change) other metals to gold. There is far too little energy in chemical reactions to do this.
The alchemists were the first chemists. But in addition to mixing chemicals, they also believed that magic would help with their experiments and formulas. It didn't. But their experiments led to the development of the science of chemistry.
Alchemists believed that mercury could be transformed into other metals,including gold.
