Possible Evolutionary Models in the Initially Hydride Earth Theory ()
ABSTRACT
A modern view of the
properties of chemical elements has confirmed the theory of the hot origin of
the Earth. The next step in developing this theory was the hypothesis of the
initial hydride Earth. In this work, we attempted to find additional evidence for
this hypothesis and show additional effects that flow from it. The effect of
the physical properties of atoms and ions on their behavior during the
formation of the Earth was studied. The maximum contribution to the
distribution of elements was made by those elements whose content in the
original protoplanets of the disk was the maximum.
Correlation dependence is obtained, which allows one to calculate the
distribution of elements in the protoplanetary disk. It was shown that hydrogen
was the main element in the proto substance located in the zone of the Earth’s
formation. In this case, various chemical compounds formed, most represented by
hydrogen compounds—hydrides. Since
the pressure inside the Earth is 375 GPa, this factor forces
the chemical compounds to adopt stoichiometry and structure that would not be
available in atmospheric conditions. It is shown that many chemical elements at
high pressure in a hydrogen medium form simple hydrides and super hydrides—polyhydrides with
high hydrogen content. Pressure leads to a higher density of matter inside the
planet. Given the possibility of forming polyhydrides, there is the possibility
of binding the initially available hydrogen in an amount that can reach 49.3
mole%. Young Earth could contain about 10.7 mass% of hydrogen in hydrides,
polyhydrides, and adsorbed form is almost twice higher than previous estimates.
This fact additionally confirms the theory of the original hydride Earth. In
hydrides, the occurrence of the phenomenon of superconductivity was discovered.
Polyhydrides were shown as potential superconductors with a high critical
temperature above 200 K. We, based on these data, hypothesized the
presence of superconducting properties in the Earth’s core, which explains the
presence of a magnetic field in the Earth, as well as the unevenness and
instability of this field and the possibility of migration of the Earth’s
poles. The fact that the Earth has a hydroid core causes its change in time due
to the instability of hydrides. Arranged several possible models of the
destruction of the Earth’s core. The calculations showed that both models give
close results. These results give predictions that can be measured. The
proposed models also made it possible to estimate the initial size of the
Earth. Possible ways of further testing the hypothesis of the initial hydride
Earth is shown.
