FORMATION OF HEAVY ELEMENTS’

JOHN PATRICK CARL R. HERMOSURA


NSTRUCTOR 1-INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION
Where did elements come from?
big bang n. ( cosmology ) the
cosmic explosion that is
hypothesized to have marked the
origin of the universe
After the BIG BANG , the universe started to e x pand.
The first seconds after the BIG
BANG, it was very hot.

Then, the universe started to


cool down.

Right after the BIG BANG, the p


+ , the n 0 and the e - were flying
around without control
When it started to cool down, the quarks
started making primitive elements:

1 H 1
Hydrogen, 1 proton

1H 2
Hydrogen, 1 proton, 1 neutron

2 H 3
Helium, 2 protons, 1 neutron

2H 4
Helium, 2 protons, 2 neutrons

Those elements started forming stars.


Star n. a self-luminous gaseous
spherical celestial body of great
mass which produces energy by
means of nuclear fusion reactions.
Because of high pressure, the elements started
bonding and forming heavier elements.
HOW WILL WE END?
WE all star We all started with the BIG BANG…
… but how will we end?
Some scientists are sure that the universe will continue to
expand forever.

However, there is a theory that our universe will


end in “big crunch”
It states that someday the universe will stop expanding
and crunch together.

There is no proof for that theory.


Classifying Stars
Temperature
If the star is blue , it
means it is very hot .
( ≈50,000 C°)

Cold stars are red


Color
Size

The bigger or
hotter the star is,
the brighter it is.
Brightness
Brightness is measured in 2 ways:

• apparent brightness (brightness


seen from earth)

• absolute brightness (the “real”


brightness of the star
Lives of Stars
Stars do not live forever.

The larger a star is, the shorter its life is
