Origins Create the universe Create the elements Create the Earth
Form the atmosphere and oceans
4
Element Formation 1: Big Bang
1 gram of hydrogen will produce 6.3x1011 j of heat. Enough heat to boil 2 million liters of H2O
5
Element Formation 2: Stars
6
Element Formation 3: Supernovae
Heavier elements distributed across universe Neutron Capture: Fe+ 0 1 𝑛 → Fe → Co + −1 0 e
7
Radioactive Decay 6 14 C→ 7 14 N+ −1 0 𝑒 19 40 K+ −1 0 𝑒 → 18 40 Ar
U→ Th+ 2 4 He

For fun…
16
Matter in the Universe
17
What happens next? -How are compounds formed?
-What characteristics differentiate substances (both elements and compounds)? Density Volatility/Phase Solubility Organic/Inorganic Mineral?
