Why did alchemists think they could tun other metals into gold?
They lived in an age when not much was known about science. They didn't know if it was possible or impossible so they tried.
What types of elements combine using metallic bonds?
Metals form Metallic Bonds.there are various elements that forms metallic bonds : Na,K ,Cu ,etc.
What do metals do when they become ions?
They lose their valence electrons. i think...
An Element that is soft and silver colored is most likely to be?
The alkali metals (group 1) are all soft and silvery coloured when new.
What are the three major groups of elements on the periodic table?
The three classes of periodic elements are:Metals,that usually tend to lose electrons to form positive ions.Semi-metals or MetalloidsNon-metals,that usually tend to accept electrons to become negative ions.

Lead.

Why did ancient alchemists attempt to transmute metals?
Because they believed they could eventually make gold, and lets face it, who wouldn't want to be able to make gold out of extremely common metals like lead or copper?I think they were fooled by combining molten zinc and copper, because this produces brass, which can look very similar to gold to the naked eye.
What is the name of piece of clothing worn by state alchemists?
all state alchemists carry a pocket watch with the insignia on it, and a jacket too I think
Is alchemists hereditary?
I don't think "alchemists" is the word you meant to use, because your question does not make sense. Alchemists are people who try to magically turn lead into gold, or otherwise magically turn one substance into another.
What elements could easily substitute for lithium in reaction to format a similar compound?
You think probable to other alkali metals: Na, K, Cs, Rb.
Did alchemists ever make an elixir of life?
i dont think so.....they were trying for a really long time though
Why are most metals hard?
I think it is because metals are non-porous, with more dense and compacted molecules compared with water, wood or other porous materials.

Name the metals and compounds which are in liquid state at room temperature?
The only common metal that is a liquid at room temperature is Mercury. Other metals are Caesium & Francium. i think!!
Why are alloys developed?
Alloys are "mixtures" of metals or non-metals in metals. They are developed to create new characteristics of the metals. Carbon (and other things) added to iron makes steel. Precise mixtures makes different sorts of steel alloy. Steel is stronger than iron and can have many characteristics which give superior properties for specific purposes. There is a virtual infinite number of alloys which could be made. Not all will have useful characteristics.
