The whole plotline of the anime takes place in a fictional country called Amestris. Ed's and Al's hometown is Risenbool and most of the state alchemist live in central.
Most of the strongest Alchemists appear to be men.
The goal was more psychological than spiritual. The alchemists were attempting to cure the "darkness of midlife". The psychologist Carl Jung studied the work of the alchemists for decades, and believed that hidden within their writings, were psychological explanations for their work.
So far in the series, there is no female state alchemists. There are female generals such as Olivia Armstrong but I highly doubt she is a state alchemist.
They tried to turn lead into metaland make potions for ever lasting life(live forever)They also tried converting cheap metal to gold. With this contribution, it really helped a lot in barter. And also, the alchemists believed that with some magic, you can be immortal. It is said that they discovered philosopher's stone. Once you have that stone, you'll be immortal.With the help of the Alchemists, they made Chemistry part of science.Follow me on twitter @osomlystoopid
The Philosophers Stone is legendary for its ability to turn base metals into gold. Alchemists tried for generations to make one without success. Nicholas Flamel (1330-1480) was believed to have found it and achieved immortality.
Cerium was not known by alchemists.
The alchemists were unaware that atoms even existed.

Alchemists tried to make GOLD from base metals. Scientists know that theoretically Gold can only be made by altering the number of protons in an atom. Alchemists did NOT know about protons etc., .
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.

all state alchemists carry a pocket watch with the insignia on it, and a jacket too I think
