How are nuclear reactions similar to alchemy?
Alchemy was a supposition held before modern science developed, that elements could be transmuted, ie to turn lead into gold, or similar, by chemical means. The alchemists never succeeded and we know now that this is impossible. The nature of an element depends solely on the make up of its nucleus, primarily on the number of protons it contains. We know now that this can be altered by radioactivity or by exposing a material to a neutron flux in a reactor, so transmutation does occur but only by means that the alchemists never knew about.
