Gold. Is. Shiny.
alchemists
The scientist were called Alchemists.
The group of medieval scientists who attempted to change elements into gold were known as alchemists. They believed in the concept of transmutation, aiming to discover the Philosopher's Stone, a mythical substance thought to have the power to turn base metals into gold.
Medieval scientists believed in alchemy, the forerunner of modern chemistry. Their goal was not just to turn lead into gold, but to find the "philosopher's stone" capable of transmuting any base metal into gold. The idea was rooted in mysticism and symbolism rather than scientific principles, leading to the failure to achieve this goal.
Alchemists were medieval scientists who attempted to change worthless metals into gold through a process called transmutation. They believed in the concept of the philosopher's stone, a mythical substance that could turn base metals into gold. Despite their efforts, alchemists were unsuccessful in their pursuit of creating gold through alchemical processes.
No, real gold does not turn black when you burn it. When heated, gold will retain its color and may become softer or deform, but it will not change color like other metals that oxidize when burned.
Silver does not turn into gold after cleaning. Silver and gold are two different metals with distinct properties and cannot transform into one another through cleaning or any other process.

Gold nuggets can turn black due to a process called tarnishing, which is the result of a chemical reaction between the gold and sulfur or other compounds in the environment. This tarnishing can darken the surface of the gold nugget, but it does not affect the actual composition or value of the gold.
No. The two metals are seldom found together in nature (mercury is found in the mineral cinnabar). However, some industrial mining processes used the affinity between the metals to remove trace gold from ores. (Mercury is atomic number 80 and Gold is 79, so to turn mercury into gold, you would need to turn a proton into a neutron. This requires a cyclotron.)
Gold can turn different colors when it is mixed with other metals or undergoes surface treatments. For example, mixing gold with copper can create rose gold, while adding silver can produce green gold. Surface treatments like heating or coating can also change the color of gold.
Both metals are just as easy as the other to turn into gold, because neither of these metals can be turned into gold. What you are referring to is Alchemy, and is not real/possible/plausible. Some alternatives may include: Just buying some gold, or you can try using magic.
