In my chemistry class I asked my teacher if there was ever a point where gold, 
or any other metal, could ever evaporate, or be heated enough to become 
another element or substance.She did not know, and suggested that I ask my 
question to a science website such as this. Any help you could give me would 
be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!
