What occurs during the death of a large star to make all heavy elements?

Chemistry

As the star collapses, fusion occurs in the core of the star. This process compacts atoms and if the star is sufficiently massive, stellar nucleosynthesis takes place and heavier elements are formed. If nuclear fusion is unable to prevent gravitational collapse, the star will blow itself apart as a supernova, ejecting the heavier elements into space at very high speed. So space is seeded with heavier elements, to be captured by the gravitational attraction of other celestial bodies and absorbed into solar systems.

vovangra [49]

Answer is: D) Light is emitted from an atom as an electron falls from an excited state to the ground state releasing a photon.

Electrons can jump from one energy level to another, absorbing or emitting electromagnetic radiation with a frequency ν (energy difference of the levels).

When electron jump from higher to lower energy level (shell), it emitting (releasing) energy.

For example, when the electron changes from n=4 (fouth shell) to n=2 (second shell), the photons are emitted.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) proposed that a beam of light is a collection of discrete wave packets (photons) with energy hν, where h is Planck constant and ν is frequency.

The photons have a characteristic energy proportional to the frequency of the light.

Minimum frequency or the threshold frequency is energy below which no photoelectrons are emitted.  

Above the minimum frequency, energy depends on the frequency of the light, not on the intensity of the light.

A quantity of an ideal gas is compressed to half its initial volume. the process may be adiabatic, isothermal or isobaric. the g
JulsSmile [24]

the greatest amount of work is required if the process is adiabatic.The correct option is adiabatic.

The process in  which heat is constant is called adiabatic process.

The The process in  which temperature is constant is called isothermal process.

The process in  which pressure is constant is called isobaric process.

The P-V diagram for adiabatic , isothermal and isobaric process is given below.

Work done in process = area encloses by P-V diagram axis . Since area under the curve is maximum for adiabatic process which is shown in the above diagram. So, work done by the gas will be maximum for adiabatic process.

learn more about adiabatic process.
