Why did the big bang not produce a significant proportion of elements heavier than helium?

Chemistry

Travka [436]1 year ago
7 0

The big bang did not produce a significant proportion of elements heavier than helium because the temperatures and densities present in the early universe were not sufficient to support the fusion of heavier elements.

During the first few minute of the big bang, the universe was composed of mostly hydrogen and helium, with very small amounts of lithium and beryllium. As the universe expanded and cooled, the denser regions of the universe collapsed to form the first stars. Inside these stars, the intense pressure and heat generated by nuclear fusion reactions allowed for the production of heavier elements, such as carbon and oxygen. However, elements heavier than helium, such as iron and nickel, require even higher temperatures and densities to be produced, which can only be found in the cores of supernovae. Therefore, the big bang alone did not produce a significant proportion of elements heavier than helium.

Why do some elements form double and triple bonds during bonding
jekas [21]

Explanation:

Elements need a total of eight electrons to gain stability and look like a noble gas. So, they sometimes need sharing of two, four or even six electrons to complete their octate. So, they form double and triple covalent bonds. One more  the reason is the  interaction between the p orbitals of the combining atoms. for example  A double bond, as in ethene H2C=CH2, arises from one combination of the s orbitals and one combination of the p_y orbitals.

The molar madd of Ca(OH)2
Nonamiya [84]
What you have to do is find a periodic table and add the mass of each atom that the compound is made of.

Ca= 40.1
O= 16.0
H= 1.01

keep in mind that you have to also account for how many atoms of each there are in the molecule. for example, in Ca(OH)2, there are one Ca, two O and two H

so the molar mass of Ca(OH)2= 40.1 + (2 x 16.0) + (2 x 1.01)= 74.12 g/mol

What does energy have to do with reproduction
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Nutrition has a significant impact on numerous reproductive functions including hormone production, folliculogenesis, fertilization, and early embryonic development

Explanation:

This intimate association is because reproductive processes are energetically expensive, and the brain must temper the fertility of individuals to match nutritional availability.Reproduction function in mammals can be inhibited when food availability is low or when increased energy demands are not met by compensatory food intake such as in short-term and chronic withdrawal of nutrients.This very close alignment with the food supply is more important in females, where pregnancy and lactation are linked to considerable energetic expenses, needed for the nurture of embryos and newborns. In fact, her reproductive outcome can be seriously altered and even life threatening to both the mother and offspring when nutritional imbalance occurs. In order to keep constant body energy stores, in mammals, a series of homeostatic events leading to maintenance of energy balance are activate when a state of energy scarcity or abundance occurs.
