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.

Explanation:
At almost the opposite point on the Earth's surface, the "P" waves reappear. The shadow zone exists because the waves are refracted as they pass through the boundary between the mantle and the core and are diverted from their original paths.
Answer:
Explanation:
Na react with H2O to form NAOH
2 Na+2H2O....................2NAOH + H2
Ca react with water and form calcium hydroxide
Ca + 2H2O........................Ca(OH)2
Mg react with water and form Magnesium hydroxide
Mg +2H2O .........................Mg(OH)2 however this coating of mg(oh)2 prevent it from further reaction
Fe react with water and form ferric hydride
3Fe +H2O.......................2 FeH +FeO
copper do not react with water
