    “gold” penny had the largest density. The “silver” penny had the second largest density, and the “copper” penny had the least largest density. The changes of the penny added density and mass each time. With the information, it appears that the mass increased by .03 after each change. Conclusion The purpose of this lab was to transmute a simple penny from copper to silver to gold using ordinary chemical and physical changes. To transmute a copper penny into silver and gold, two trials were performed in

    3.1. Petrographic Examination Petrographic thin sections were prepared and optically analyzed using Leitz polarizing microscope. Optical microscopy was very useful for identifying the mineral composition, different litho types and the exact stratigraphy of the samples. It provided information on the decayed layers and their size, color and texture. Additionally, the characteristics of minerals, cement materials and textural and digenetic features of the samples were further examined. 3.2. Scanning

    Silver (Ag) is a metallic element with the atomic number of 47. A soft, white, lustrous transition metal possesses the highest electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and reflectivity of any metal. Silver occurs in its pure, free form as an alloy with gold and other metals, and in minerals such as argentite and chlorargyrite. More abundant than gold, silver metal has functioned in many pre modern monetary systems as coinable specie, sometimes even alongside gold. Archaeological evidence suggest

    Transition metals are a group of metals that are considered dense and have high melting and boiling points. They are located between the alkaline earth metals group and the boron group. The transition metals are characterized by the number of inner energy levels that are occupied by the atoms. They are then separated into 2 groups: d-type transition metals and f-type transition metals. D-type transition metals are mostly consisted of important metals (commercially) and the rare and unimportant metals
