Hi. I heard gold comes from the degradation of another transuranium

I thought this was the science board. nobody can help me?

I'm no expert but I don't think anything degrades into gold. Nuclear transmutation allows you to make gold from say lead but that doesn't really happen naturally.

Gold is made in the 2nd+ generations stars.

gold and lead are very similar and lead comes from uranium so gold must come from another transuranic element

There are 4 decay chain. The first 3 all end in lead because it is stable, the fourth and in thallium.
Gold can't be reached as there are other elements with stable isotopes and masses 4n,4n+2,4n+3 and 4n+1 that come after it.

Your dope-smokin' buddies?

Fire neutrons at it until you knock out the right amount of protons

You can make an atom of gold

You look very similar to a chimpanzee. You must be equally as intelligent.

Head about cyclotron anybody? What about getting cyclotron and start with lithium? :D

I heard gold comes from a transuranic elemt which is not on earth anymore even if my sources are wrong I would like to find out which element this was.

>>8296554
Ask your sources, clearly they're more familiar with mythical extinct elements, then fuck off back to /x/ where you belong

>>8296560
sadly my sources are dead anon and /x/ knows nothing about their subject matter
and let's be honest, most threads are not realy about science, at least mine is.

>>8296554
The only transuranic elements that we don't know about are ones that are so unstable they don't exist in nature. Hell we barely can keep half of the ones we have discovered stable enough for study.

>>8296567
so gold is and always has been gold?

Iron disciplined exercise is a helluva drug

Well as has been said before gold is the product of nuclear fusion in stars. Late in their life.
