Can an element be burnt to form another element?
No. If you burn an element, you will turn it into a compound (most commonly [element burnt] oxide). Which will not be an element.
Which element can turn your tongue black?
The silver nitrate, but this is a dangerous compound.
What if you put gold in bleach and it doesnt turn black?
As bleach will not affect gold, it will not turn black! However, if the coin is actually brass it might...
What is in kno3 that makes fire turn into the color purple?
The element "Potassium" (K).
What element is used to make fireworks turn green?
Magnesium
Who was the famous alchemist who tried to turn lead into gold?
Transmutation of lead into gold isn't just theoretically possible - it has been achieved! There are reports that Glenn Seaborg, 1951 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, succeeded in transmuting a minute quantity of lead (possibly en route from bismuth, in 1980) into gold.
What is the element that gold is made of?
Gold is an element. As such, it is composed of atoms of gold, which in turn are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Why Alchemists were not successful to turn metal into gold?
Alchemists could not turn metal into gold because gold is an element.
Philosopher's stone can turn base metals into this element?
the philosopher's stone is believed to have the power to turn base metals into gold
What are facts about mendelevium?
· Mendelevium is named after Dmitri Mendeleev, who constructed the periodic table of the elements. · It is classified as one of the "Rare Earth Elements." · Although many men were associated in producing Mendelevium, all the credit of discovery goes to Glenn T. Seaborg. · So far, all elements named after people turn out to be less important than those people. · The definition of the Mendelevium element is: A radioactive transuranic element synthesized by bombarding einsteinium with alpha particles.
What are some negative effects on the element gold?
It causes you too lose your mind over its riches. The richness of it will turn brother on brother for the Gold.
Why can't lead turn into gold?
Transmutation, The process of turning one element to another is impossible by chemical means. This is because the comparable size and strength of molecular bonds vs. the bonds of protons and neutrons are not even on the same order of magnitude. It would be like trying to open a welded shut vessel with a bottle opener the size of the U.S.A.
Why is it not possible to turn lead into gold by chemical reaction?
Lead and gold are elements, made up of completely lead and gold atoms, respectively. Elemental atoms cannot be created or changed. They can only combine to form molecules. An element can never become another element.
Who was the alchemist who tried to turn lead into gold?
Many ancient scientists tried to achieve that. One of the supreme quests of alchemy is to transmute lead into gold. Lead (atomic number 82) and gold (atomic number 79) are defined as elements by the number of protons they possess. Changing the element requires changing the atomic (proton) number. The number of protons cannot be altered by any chemical means. However, physics may be used to add or remove protons and thereby change one element into another. Because lead is stable, forcing it to release three protons requires a vast input of energy, such that the cost of transmuting it greatly surpasses the value of the resulting gold. Transmutation of lead into gold isn't just theoretically possible - it has been achieved! There are reports that Glenn Seaborg, 1951 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, succeeded in transmuting a minute quantity of lead (possibly en route from bismuth, in 1980) into gold. There is an earlier report (1972) in which Soviet physicists at a nuclear research facility near Lake Baikal in Siberia accidentally discovered a reaction for turning lead into gold when they found the lead shielding of an experimental reactor had changed to gold.
Can you turn yellow gold in to white gold?
No, you cannot turn yellow gold into white gold. White gold, yellow gold, and rose gold are all alloys of pure gold. You can only turn pure gold into white gold.
Why does your gold ring turn black then back to gold in a few days?
gold ring does not turn black
What is the element in hydrogen?
Hydrogen is an element, there will be atom that makes up an element and not element that will turn into another.
