I know that copper can be turned to gold through nuclear reactions, but it only fomrs a radioactive/unstable isotope this way. This question is referring to alchemy being possible or not.

No. Alchemy was a precedent for modern chemistry, but elements do not change without nuclear reactions.

For more than few seconds.
Gold molecules stable enough to remain intact for more than few seconds.
