Sketch a model of an atom of helium, showing the electrons, protons, neutrons, and atomic nucleus.
The image illustrates two of the nuclear reactions occuring during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis: It shows protons and neutrons combining to form deuterium nuclei (D, containing one proton and one neutron), accompanied by the emission of high energy photons (denoted as γ); furthermore, it shows two deuterium nuclei fusing to produce one nucleus of ...

12 sie 2024 · All atoms of an element have the same number of protons, and every element has a different number of protons in its atoms. For example, all helium atoms have two protons, and no other elements have atoms with two protons.
By the first millisecond, the universe had cooled to a few trillion kelvins (10 12 K) and quarks finally had the opportunity to bind together into free protons and neutrons. Free neutrons are unstable with a half-life of about ten minutes (614.8 s) and formed in much smaller numbers.
Deuterium and high-redshift quasars. For deuterium (with a nucleus containing one proton and one neutron), another of the light elements produced in Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, the situation is somewhat different.
Describe the interrelationship between protons, neutrons, and electrons; Compare the ways in which electrons can be donated or shared between atoms; Explain the ways in which naturally occurring elements combine to create molecules, cells, tissues, organ systems, and organisms
