Yes, according to Glencoe science gold is the most stretchable of any element on the Periodic Table of elements. In science the word 'ductile' is usually used in place of stretchable. The ability of a metal to be stretched would be called its ductility. This is in contrast to malleability, the ability of a metal to be hammered into thin layers. Gold is both highly ductile and highly malleable, but the characteristics do not always go together. Lead, for example, is highly malleable but not very ductile.

Does a set with no element belong to any kind of set?

I believe you are talking about subsets. The empty set (set with no elements) is a subset of any set, including of the empty set. ("If an object is an element of set A, then it is also an element of set B." Since no element is an element of set A, the statement is vacuously true.)

What is the most important element for corn crops?

There is no "most important element" for corn. However, the nutrient which is most used up by the corn crop, and therefore costs the most for the the farmer to replace is nitrogen. No element is more important than any other because if any one nutrient, even a micronutrient, is completely missing, there will be no crop to harvest.

Can gold be changed into another element?

An element can only change if the number of protons in its nucleus changes. It is possible to make one kind of element into another, but all these processes can be accomplished only by nuclear means. Gold can be changed into another element in a physics lab, but only with the use of a nuclear reactor or an accelerator of some kind. Any element can be changed into another element, but only by nuclear means.
