3. History of the Elements alchemy---philosophers stone turns lead into gold Today with nuclear technology we can transmute lead into gold The periodic table has been very useful in predicting elements before they are found Nuclear isotopes ---more neutrons Search for the super heavy elements and the issue of nuclear stability as the nucleus size increases Many scientists think if we can get high enough we will find stable elements again—Dr. Glen Seaborg island of stability NIF ---Nuclear Ignition Facility CERN
