Elements with more protons and neutrons than iron are believed to have formed through processes like supernova explosions. These heavy elements, such as gold and uranium, are created in the intense conditions of these cosmic events.

If an element has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus and 8 electrons revolving around the nucleus What is the atomic number and atomic mass of this element?

In neutral atoms (with the same number of protons and electrons), the number of protons and electrons equal the atomic number. If our atom has 9 electrons, is neutral, and therefore has 9 protons, it is element #9: Flourine, which has an atomic mass of 19: 9 protons plus 10 neutrons.


How long after the big bang did the first hydrogen nuclei form?

Within the context of elements, Hydrogen is the most basic building block of our universe. Good old number 1 on the periodic table. It's simple structure tells us that it would've been the first element to form after the big bang. However, we can't say that it formed instantly. In the earliest stages the Universe would've been too dense and too hot for the formation of Hydrogen. If you are looking for a magic number for an assignment or something, you should be safe saying that they formed within 5 seconds.


How are monatomic anions formed from atoms in terms of protons and electrons?

Monatomic anions are formed when atoms gain one or more electrons. The number of protons in the nucleus remains the same, giving the atom a net negative charge due to having more electrons than protons.


What is a particle of atom?

Sub-atomic particle is the proper term to describe your question. We generally know atom construct from proton, neutron and electron while proton is positron and neutron. To even smaller scale, it is the Quark that is the building block of the matter.


What happens to the atom when an alpha particle is released by it?

When an alpha particle is released by an atom, the atom loses two protons and two neutrons, resulting in a different element being formed. This process is known as alpha decay.
