    Formation of Light Elements in The Universe

    Uploaded by

    MA. FRITZIE DE ASIS
    The document discusses the formation of light elements in the universe, noting that there were two main phases: 1) Big Bang nucleosynthesis, which led to the formation of light elements like hydrogen, helium, and lithium in the early hot dense universe, and 2) Stellar nucleosynthesis, through which nuclear fusion in stars produces heavier elements beyond iron. It provides details on the processes of big bang nucleosynthesis and stellar nucleosynthesis that created the first atomic nuclei in the early universe and continue to produce heavier elements today.

    Formation of Light

    Elements in the
    Universe
    Formation of Light Elements in the
    Universe

    The origin of all the naturally occurring elements fall into


    two phases:
    1) Big Bang or Primordial Nucleosynthesis
    - the origin of the “light” elements; and

    2) Stellar Nucleosynthesis
    - the origin and production of the heavy
    elements
    Formation of Light Elements in the
    Universe

    Big Bang or Primordial


    Nucleosynthesis

    the leading explanation explains that the


    about how the universe universe started as a
    began 13.8 billion very dense and hot state
    years ago that expanded rapidly.
    Formation of Light Elements in the
    Universe

    forming new particles:

     Protons
     Neutrons
     Electrons
    Formation of Light Elements in the
    Universe

    Nucleosynthesis

    is the process that creates new


    atomic nucleus from
    preexisting nucleons , primarily
    protons and neutrons.
    How was the universe formed?

    How do we use the periodic


    table of elements?
    Read the short story provided below and find the 5 words
    related to physics and chemistry. Use items 1-5 as a guide to
    find the words.
    B. Chemistry and Physics words found in the
    story:
    1. This is the lightest element in the periodic table.
    2. Thisis what happens when elements combine
    together, usually resulting to new elements.
    3. This is the theory which proposes the universe is still
    in the process of inflation.
    4. This is the term for stars bigger than our own Sun.
    5. Thisis what pulls atoms together and what causes the
    Earth to orbit the Sun.
    Fact Check!
     Big Bang Theory:
    o this is the currently accepted theory
    of the origin of the universe
    o proposes that everything started
    from a singularity which in time
    inflated—and continues to do so—
    until the world we know of today
    started existing approximately 14
    billion years ago.
    Fact Check!

     Stellar Nucleosynthesis
    o this is the birth of
    elements through nuclear
    fusion that takes place
    within stars.
    Fact Check!

     Supernova
    othis is the explosion in
    the event of a death of
    a star.
    Fact Check!

     Neutron-Star Mergers
    o this is when stars merge
    to form a more massive
    star, generating more
    energy than normal stars.
    Fact Check!

     Light Elements
    o these are elements from Hydrogen to Iron
    which form in less massive stars.
    Fact Check!

     Heavy Elements
    o these are elements heavier than Iron which
    form from massive stars, supernova, or
    neutron-star mergers.
    the Big Bang Theory is
    the one currently accepted,
    theoretically

    the universe started with a singularity


    defined simply as a point where all matter,
    time, space, laws of the universe and reality
    itself are condensed—ultimately inflating
    (not exploding) since approximately 14
    billion years ago until now, according to
    NASA (National Aeronautics and Space
    Administration).
    Why the elements needed to exist
    first?

    all matter that makes up most of the


    universe—including us—are made up
    of elements.

     Hydrogen (H)
     Oxygen (O)
     Gold (Au).
    Stellar
    Nucleosynthesis

    is one of the ways heavier elements are


    formed.

    Nucleosynthesis explains how new


    atomic nucleus are formed from
    nucleons preceding from the new ones.
    Nuclear
    Fusion
    process where neutrons and
    protons combine to new atoms

     Hydrogen
     Helium
     Small amounts of Lithium
     Beryllium were formed
    Remember :
    The number of protons (+) is the
    identity of an element, not the number
    of neutron (+) nor the number of
    electrons (-).
