Answer is: because they were using simple chemical reactions to transform elements, but that is possible only with nuclear reactions, which in that time were not possible to conduct.

Nuclear reactions can produce new elements, because number of protons and neutrons is changed, lead and gold have different atomic and mass numbers.

The electrons of an atom participates in a chemical reaction, chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of electrons, because there is transfer, loss, gain and sharing of electrons in chemical reactions, new elements are not formed.

Why might a geologist ask an analytical chemist to help identify the minerals in a rock.
Stels [109]

A geologist would ask the analytical chemist to identify the rock's composition. Chemists gather data from afar and analyze matter back to earth.

<h3>Who is a geologist ?</h3>

A geologist is a scientist who focuses on the processes that shape terrestrial planets and the solid, liquid, and gaseous stuff that makes up Earth. Although training in physics, chemistry, biology, and other sciences are sometimes helpful, geologists typically pursue geology as their field of study. Geology includes a significant amount of field study (field work), even if many of its subdisciplines also involve laboratory and computer work.

Geologists look for natural resources like oil, gas, precious and base metals in the energy and mining industries. They are also in the vanguard of efforts to prevent and lessen the effects of natural disasters and hazards like earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and landslides.
