Why are there very few helium (and deuterium) nuclei a hundredthof a second after the big bang? Select all the statements that areboth correct and relevant.
At this point in time there are so few protons in the universethat we can't create deuterium or helium.
The temperature is so high that any created would quickly bedestroyed in a collision
Any created would quickly decay away
Any created would be broken apart by high energy photons
Lots of high energy collisions are happening which would breakapart any that were created.
The collisions are not of high enough energy to create any ofthem. There is no way to create any of them.
At this point in time there are so few protons in the universethat we can't create deuterium or helium.
At this point in time there are no free electrons to combinewith protons.
At this point in time there are not enough muons to createdeuterium or helium.
