Study Notes

Big Bang Theory Evidence

  • Evidence supporting the Big Bang theory is not explicitly listed.

Atomic Number of Aluminum

  • The atomic number of Aluminum (Al) is not provided.

Protons and Electrons in a Carbon Atom

  • A neutral carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons.

Ions

  • An atom with an unequal number of electrons and protons is an ion.

Isotopes

  • Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are isotopes.

Atom Formation Locations

  • Sodium: Formed in stars like our sun.
  • Gold: Formed in supernovae.
  • Carbon: Formed in stars like our sun.
  • Hydrogen: Formed in the Big Bang.

Matter and Antimatter Contact

  • When matter and antimatter meet, they annihilate each other, releasing energy in the form of gamma rays.

Atomic Number of Neon

  • The atomic number of Neon (Ne) is not provided.

Nucleons

  • Protons and neutrons are called nucleons because they are located in the nucleus of an atom.

Protons and Electrons in a Sulfur Atom

  • A neutral sulfur (S) atom has 16 protons and 16 electrons.

Atoms with Different Electron Counts

  • Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of electrons are different ions of the same element.
  • Atoms with 3 protons and 3 electrons are the same element as atoms with 3 protons and 4 electrons. They both are Lithium, but the second is a Lithium ion.

Atom Formation Locations (additional)

  • Silver: Formed in supernovae.
  • Helium: Formed in stars like our sun.
  • Phosphorus: Formed in stars like our sun.
  • Potassium: Formed in stars like our sun.
