Problem 18SEQ

Explain all answers clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure if needed.

Element Production in the Big Bang. Nucleosynthesis in the early universe was unable to produce more than trace amounts of elements heavier than helium. Using the information in Figure 9.18, which shows the mass per nuclear particle for many different elements, explain why producing elements like lithium (3 protons), boron (4 protons), and beryllium (5 protons) was so difficult.
