FORMATION OF

ELEMENTS
FOUND IN THE
UNIVERSE
MS. MARIA INAH D. AGULAN
EVIDENCES THAT SUPPORT
GAMOW’S HYPOTHESIS
1. MEASUREMENTS SHOW THAT THE UNIVERSE IS
EXPANDING AND THAT GALAXIES ARE MOVING AWAY
FROM EACH OTHER.
2. COSMIC BACKGROUND RADIATION WAS
DETECTED
3. PRIMORIAL HELIUM WAS DETECTED
 THE UNIVERSE ARE FORMED THROUGH THE
FOLLOWING STEPS:
1.It started in a big explosion
called the big bang
2.Second later, the radiation
formed into matter
3.And galaxies formed from
matter
FORMATION OF THE HEAVIER
ELEMENTS
IN THE EVOLUTION OF THE
UNIVERSE
 EACH OF TWO OR MORE FORMS OF THE
SAME ELEMENT THAT CONTAIN EQUAL
NUMBERS OF PROTONS BUT DIFFERENT
NUMBERS OF NEUTRONS IN THEIR NUCLEI,
AND HENCE DIFFER IN RELATIVE ATOMIC
MASS BUT NOT IN CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
SOTOPIE
 ARISING FROM THE RADIOACTIVE DECAY OF ATOMIC
NUCLEI. IT COMBINE ALLOWS NUCLEAR FUSION TO OCCUR

MAGMA ARY
FORMATION OF HELIUM FROM HYDROGEN
REVERSING THE EQUATION

p+n d+y
proton + neutron = deuterium + gamma rays
d+y  n+p
deuterium + gamma rays = neutron + proton
FORMATION OF ELEMENTS
EXERCISES

1. p + n  H
2. 3H  p + n
3. p + 2n  2H
 BALANCE THE EQUATIONS WITH A PARTNER

1. +  Be
2. + n  He
3.
•   + He 
4. +  Mg
5. + n  Fe

ELEMENTS FORMED?
