7. First Topic Where do all these elements come from? How are they made? Are they made?

8. Our Guide:

9. What aspects of this should we explain?

10. What will our explanations depend on? Thermodynamics: relative stability Kinetics: rate and mechanism

11. General Decrease in Abundance with Atomic Number

12. Even > Odd

13. Peak at Fe

14. Peak at Pb

15. Trough at Be

16. Missing Tc and Pm and Above N = 83

17. Nucleosynthesis of the Elements Hydrogen Burning 1 H + 1 H  2 H + e + + v e­ 2 H + 1 H  3 He +  3 He + 3 He  4 He +2 1 H Why does this happen only in stars? 4 1 H  4 He + 2e + + 2v e

18. Helium Burning 4 He + 4 He  8 Be 8 Be + 4 He  12 C*  12 C +  3 4 He  12 C +  Is this easier or harder than hydrogen burning?

19. Carbon Burning, etc. 12 C + 4 He  16 O +  16 O + 4 He  20 Ne +  20 Ne + 4 He  24 Mg +  12 C + 12 C  24 Mg +  12 C + 12 C  23 Na + 1 H 12 C + 12 C  20 Ne + 4 He Go back to initial Questions. Can we answer any?

20. The  -Process 20 Ne +   16 O + 4 He 20 Ne + 4 He  24 Mg +  2 20 Ne  16 O + 24 Mg +  40 Ca + 4 He  44 Ti* +  44 Ti* + e -  44 Sc* + v + 44 Sc*  44 Ca +  + + v + 44 Ca + 4 He  48 Ti + 

21. Neutron Capture-Beta Decay
