Overview of Solar Abundances

• observed in solar spectra and primitive meteorites, e.g., Allende meteorite, sliced
• broadbrush picture
  by mass: without and with labels
  by number
• The Rosetta Stone: detailed isotopic pattern, summed to elements

Quantifying Abundances

• mass fraction
• mole fraction
• ratio to hydrogen

Nuclear Physics: Masses of Nuclei

• notation
• masses and mass defects
• stable isotopes: great curve of binding energy
• Chart of the Nuclides: here and here
