As the The identity of
universe an element
expands, it depends on how
01 cools. 03 many protons it
The more has.

10^-5 sec. after the Big Bang, quarks combined to
form protons and neutrons.

Lithium and
Beryllium requires a
lot energy to form
since they are heavier
only a portion of
these elements
were formed
20 minutes after Big
Bang, temperature in
the universe
continued to drop
until protons and
neutrons were not
able to combine
