When we added (AgNO3) to a strand of copper, silver solidified on the copper. It looked like branches. After a while we could we the liquid turn blue because the chemicals where sharing electrons, causing a chemical change. I liked this activity because we could see this silver branches expand and expand. It really helped me understand howbmetals can look and change.

No, alchemy is not real, you can’t make something out of nothing. Alchemists were just lying to their bosses. May be they did things like this experiment to trick their bosses.
