Before Chemistry was a science, there was Alchemy. 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.

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.
Is the Navy commendation medal or the Good conduct award medal made of gold or lead?
Neither - gold is too expensive (thousands are produced each year) and lead is toxic. Most military medals are made of either bronze, zinc alloy, or pewter.

How do you kill a good leprechaun?
you steal his gold and catch him in the pot because once you get the pot of gold he cant take it back so you catch him in that and you boil him with a lid made out of the gold once he has reached a core temperature of 120 degrees he is throughly dead if you cant find the leprechaun use pasta and if you cant find gold use cheese and if you cant find a pot... sorry your screwed
How do you turn lead into gold?
Sell it, buy gold for the money. Technically is impossible to obtain gold from lead.
Chemists want to change lead into gold but all failed why?
Because they didn't have particle accelerators. It IS possible to change lead into gold using one of those, but only in submicroscopic quantities and it would cost far more than the gold would be worth.Both lead and gold are elements. They are not made of simpler substances that can be chemically recombined to change one into another.(At the subatomic level, they ARE made of simpler substances that can be recombined; that's why the particle accelerator trick works.)
