Pittsburgh Steelers St. Patrick’s Day Lucky 2024 T-Shirt

But otherwise, scientists believe gold is made via fusion of smaller atoms in things like supernovas or collisions of neutron stars. Not something that is ever likely to happen on Earth. The lighter elements when the Pittsburgh Steelers St. Patrick’s Day Lucky 2024 T-Shirt and I will buy this smaller stars died (like our sun), and the heavier elements such as gold and silver when the larger stars died in huge explosions (Supernovas). Silver, in mythology however, is associated with the goddess Artemis, goddess of the moon. I can see your confusion! Yes gold(Au) can be created by platinum(Pt) which has one proton lesser than gold and by Mercury(Hg) which had one proton more than gold.

Yes, indeed, the Pittsburgh Steelers St. Patrick’s Day Lucky 2024 T-Shirt and I will buy this 2nd law of thermodynamics suggest that all elements are decaying. However, to transform neighbor elements into silver or gold currently requires too much money to be not preposterous. But you need a nuclear reactor to do this the quantities will be very little, microscopic, and will cost at a guess around 10,000 times the value of the gold The properties of a material are determined by the atomic/molecular structure and arrangement and hence by the number of protons, neutrons and electrons.(it has gotten complicated with the introduction of spin of electrons, mesons, etc but that wouldn’t matter here). So to per se “convert” one metal into Gold would require changing that atomic structure. This is called nuclear fission. The said metal, in the end, will need to have same number of neutrons, protons and electrons as there are in Gold. However, you cannot randomly choose any metal and decide to carry out nuclear fission on it. Every element(be it metal/non metal or anything) has a stable configuration and will rarely attain another stable configuration under extreme conditions(which will never occur on Earth). There are different set of metals called radioactive metals(you would have read about them). They are not stable in their form and hence try attain that stability by radiating alpha, gamma, beta or gamma radiations.
