About this document
Nucleosynthesis of Heavy Elements by Ea Sy is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Elements heavier than iron are formed through nucleosynthesis during supernova explosions. Neutron capture, either through slow (s-process) or rapid (r-process) reactions, produces unstable isotopes that decay over time. The s-process occurs in stellar cores and can produce elements up to bismuth, while the r-process takes place in supernovae and produces very heavy, neutron-rich isotopes including uranium. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, and can be stable or unsta
