“How Can You Make Gold”
It is not possible to make gold because it is
an element. There are ninety-two elements in
the world, and they can be broken into tiny
pieces called atoms. When two or more atoms
are joined, they create a molecule. When two
or more elements are joined, they form a
compound. The study of elements, atoms, and
molecules is called chemistry.
