Chemistry developed from the observation of natural processes that occurred when various substances were mixed, dissolved, or heated. The pseudoscience of alchemy was one that used various techniques found in modern chemistry. (One aim of alchemy was to transmute an element into another element, notably lead into gold.) Later chemists became interested in how to isolate particular elements from a compound, and many of the known elements were discovered (along with their chemical properties).

What else can I help you with?
Where do the essential elements in the soil come from?
Essential elements in the soil primarily come from the weathering of rocks and minerals. As rocks break down over time, they release nutrients such as phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium into the soil. These nutrients are then available for plant uptake and growth. Additionally, decomposing organic matter and biological activity also contribute to the cycling of essential elements in the soil.
Why atoms of most of the elements do not exist independently?
Atoms of most elements do not exist independently because they are more stable and energetically favorable when they form chemical bonds with other atoms. These bonds allow atoms to achieve a full outer electron shell and attain a lower energy state. This results in the formation of molecules or compounds rather than isolated atoms.
What are the three necessary elements for the formation of clouds?
The three necessary elements for the formation of clouds are water vapor in the air, cooling of the air to its dew point, and condensation nuclei (particles for water vapor to condense onto). When these three elements come together, water vapor condenses into tiny droplets or ice crystals, forming visible clouds in the sky.
What are the elements and compounds found in the lithosphere called?
Elements and compounds found in the lithosphere are referred to as minerals. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure. They form the building blocks of rocks and are essential for various Earth processes.
How does lead come about on Earth?
Lead is a naturally occurring element that is primarily created through the decay of heavy radioactive elements, such as uranium and thorium. It can also be formed through the decay of other elements, such as radon and polonium. Lead can be found in various minerals and ores, and is commonly extracted through mining and refining processes.
Where does elements come from?
Chemical elements were formed by stellar nucleosynthesis.
What are bleach elements?
What elements are classed as bleaches? ANSWER PLEASE COME ON NOT THE QUESTION
Why do some elements in an electric furnace not come on?
Blown fuses or bad elements.
Why do atoms of the most of the elements not exist independently?
There is sufficient chemical driving force to cause most elements to react with other elements into contact with which the elements come.
Why does your sun have 2 percent heavier elements and from where do they come?
I think it's our Sun which gets heavier elements from fusion of hydrogen and other light elements.Edit: Our Sun does create helium from hydrogen by fusion, but that's all. The reason it has heavier elements is that these come from the nebula that formed the Sun. The heavier elements are thought to have come from stars that exploded as "supernovas", a long time ago.
Where can you find the answer key for the elements of language?
Google "Elements of Lit. Answer Key .203" and it will come up as the first one.
What elements on the periodic table of elements does the element silicon come from?
It is elemental. Therefore it does not derive from any other thing.
Which elements come together to form water?
Hydrogen and Oxygen
Is atoms of a molecule come from two or more elements or a compound?
compound
Why do some element have unusual letter for their symbols?
some elements do not use their first letters of their English names as their symbols. The symbols for these elements may come from the names of the elements in a different language.
How come elements below uranium have equally short half-lives as the elements above uranium?
This affirmation is not correct; the half lives are different.
What elements are required by plants does not come directly from the soil?
Air, water, and light.
