How would you relate alchemy to synthesis of new elements
Answers
Answer:
Alchemy did look at the material world but through layers of mistaken religious, magical and mystical blather. It was wrong in principle and never did much more than provide a few glib charlatans with a reliable living through fraud. It never really got anywhere until alchemists dropped the mystical nonsense and just kept what could be reliably and repeatedly observed about the chemicals they messed about with.
The actual synthesis of new elements came about through modern physics and chemistry and an understanding of radioactivity that related atomic properties to the number of protons. It was eventually discovered how to add protons to an existing atom. It has zero in common with alchemy.

Answer:
Alchemy is term used for the study of chemistry practiced in China, India, middle east and Europe of the Medeival Era. It was majorly based on the foundational principles of religion and mythology.
The word 'alchemy' comes from the Arabic word 'al-kīmiyā' , which is composed of two words 'khumeia' and 'al' which means 'the' in English. Together the association of the words can be interpreted as 'the process of transmutation by which to fuse or reunite with the divine or original form'.
The very main attempt of alchemy was:
- To be able to convert any base metals into gold.
- To cook the Universal Elixir, the Immortality potion to cure every disease and old-age.
Since, since to convert any metals into bases and to cook the Universal Elixir, the Alchemists of the medieval times conducted studies over many diffrent types of substances, which involved reactions within each other.
Therefore, alchemy can be related to synthesis (making) of new elements.
