Which of the following best describes stellar nucleosynthesis.
▪ Stellar nucleosynthesis is the process involving nuclear reactions through which fresh atomic nuclei are syntherized from pre-existing nuclei or nucleons. The first stage of nucleosynthesis occurred in the hit, early universe, with the production of H, He, and traces of Li-7 ( primordial nucleosynthesis ).
What is an example of nucleosynthesis.
▪ When a star is burning hydrogen in its core, it is a main-sequence star. In older stars such as red giants, nucleosynthesis involves the burning of heavier elements created by earlier fusion; for example, helium may burn via the triple alpha process.
