Making Lead Into Gold. Lead (atomic number 82) and gold (atomic number 79) are defined as elements by the number of protons they possess. alchemy is an ancient practice shrouded in mystery and secrecy. one of the supreme quests of alchemists was to transmute (transform) lead into gold. mit physicists have metaphorically turned graphite, or pencil lead, into gold by isolating five ultrathin flakes stacked in a specific order. Particle accelerators make possible the ancient alchemist’s dream—but at a steep. A better bet would be to use either mercury (1 more proton than gold) or platinum (1 less proton than gold). lead can be turned into gold. The resulting material can then be tuned to exhibit three important properties never before seen in natural graphite. Its practitioners mainly sought to turn lead into gold, a quest that has captured the imaginations of people for thousands of years. the best way i can think of doing it would be to use lead as a cyclotron target, i would need to bombard it with. alchemists from china, india and europe were for centuries obsessed with the transformation of base metals (particularly lead) into gold. Changing the element requires changing the atomic (proton) number. using lead to make gold isn’t a great strategy, as lead has 3 protons more than gold. The earliest experiments in transmuting a base metal into gold come from 1924.
