Why are there many completely ionized helium atoms at a thousand years after the bang? Select all correct statements that are both relevant and true. (i.e., is one of the reasons or causes of why we have many completely ionized helium atoms at a thousand years after the bang) 1) At a thousand years after the bang the helium nuclei and electrons have combined to form neutral helium atoms which stay bound 2) At a thousand years after the bang, the temperature is too high for any stable helium nuclei formed to stay bound 3) At a thousand years after the bang, the temperature is low enough for any stable helium nuclei in existence to stay bound All nuclei will quickly decay away into free protons and neutrons Since some helium nuclei are stable, those isotopes will be in abundance 4) There are not enough free electrons to combine with helium nuclei to form neutral helium atoms 5) None of the above are correct
