    Study Notes

    Subatomic Particles and Elements

    • Protons and neutrons are the ingredients in making an element.
    • The atomic number indicates the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.

    Elements and the Big Bang

    • Hydrogen and Helium were formed shortly after the Big Bang.
    • Nucleosynthesis is the process that creates new atomic nuclei from pre-existing nucleons (protons and neutrons).

    The Big Bang Theory

    • The Big Bang Theory is the prevailing cosmological model for the universe from its earliest known state and on.
    • The Big Bang occurred 13.8 billion years ago, marking the beginning of the universe and the formation of the first elements.
