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.
