First Topic

Where do all these elements come from?

How are they made?

Are they made?

Our Guide:

What aspects of this should we explain?

What will our explanations depend on?

Thermodynamics: relative stability

Kinetics: rate and mechanism

General Decrease in Abundance with Atomic Number

Even > Odd

Peak at Fe

Peak at Pb

Trough at Be

Missing Tc and Pm and Above N = 83

Nuclear equations

Nucleosynthesis of the Elements

Hydrogen Burning

1H + 1H 2H + e+ + ve

2H + 1H 3He +

3He + 3He 4He +21H

Why does this happen only in stars?

41H 4He + 2e+ + 2ve

Helium Burning

4He +4He 8Be8Be + 4He 12C* 12C +

3 4He 12C +

Is this easier or harder than hydrogenburning?

Carbon Burning, etc.

12C + 4He 16O + 16O + 4He 20Ne + 20Ne + 4He 24Mg + 12C + 12C 24Mg + 12C + 12C 23Na + 1H12C + 12C 20Ne + 4He

Go back to initial Questions. Can weanswer any?

The -Process

20Ne + 16O + 4He

20Ne + 4He 24Mg +

2 20Ne 16O + 24Mg +

40Ca + 4He 44Ti* + 44Ti* + e- 44Sc* + v+

44Sc* 44Ca + + + v+
