similar atoms combine.
- Hydrogen and Helium formed in the big bang.
- Helium through Iron/Nickel formed by fusion in stars.
- All the rest of the elements formed in supernovas by a combination of fusion, neutron capture, and decay. Supernovas produce many elements way into the transuranics, but as they all decayed away long ago, they are not considered naturally occurring.

∙ 13y agoMost of the atoms in living things come from just six elements. These elements are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. Scientists theorize that these elements, along with all 93 natural elements, were created in the centers of stars billions of years ago, shortly after the universe formed in a violent explosion.

Heavier elements (up to nickel or iron) form in the hearts of stars in a process called stellar nucleosynthesis.
Elements heavier than iron form in supernova explosions.

Why are elements not used in their element form?
some may be to lethal in their natural state or unstable but some are used in their pure form such as iron, gold, silver, oxygen, etc.
What do elements combine to form?
Elements combine to form chemical compounds.
What elements can form a positive ion?
All elements can and many often do form positive ions.
Does copper occur naturally or made synthetically?
Copper is on the periodic table of elements. its 100% Natural - Copper was not present in the universe until after the first supernova. Nebula and stars cannot form elements heavier than iron during their lives. It is only after a star dies that it produces heavier elements like copper. Copper can be found on Earth in 'natural' form, as copper nuggets, without needing to mine for it. To be made into useful objects, copper must be smelted or turned into man-made alloys such as brass or bronze.
What is the natural state of the element bromine?
in its pure natural state uncombined with other elements, bromine is a LIQUID...
Where can elements can be found in their natural form?
In the earth crust, in the atmosphere, in all natural waters.
What natural resourses are there?
WindWavesSunlightNuclear energy (in the form for radioactive elements)CoalOilGasWoodTideWaterFoodMetalsOther mineralsFabrics
How do natural elements form?
they come from earth but a natural element like water isn't an element at all just an over form of water its-self same with air earth and fire
How many natural elements do we know of?
there are 51 natural elements we know of
Is it right that 88 natural elements now?
No. There are 92 natural elements.
What is the difference between an element and a native element?
Elements can either be synthetic or natural. Synthetic elements are made artificially in laboratories, while natural elements exist in their natural state in nature. Natural elements can further be defined as native elements. These elements exist in their uncombined state.
Why are electrons in an atom involved in bonding?
they have a natural tendecy to become stable that's why different elements under different conditions react to form different elements or compounds.
What is similar about oxygen and lead?
Very little. They can both have a valency of two. They are both elements. They can both form compounds with sulfur. I am reaching here!
Why are elements not used in their element form?
some may be to lethal in their natural state or unstable but some are used in their pure form such as iron, gold, silver, oxygen, etc.
What do elements combine to form?
Elements combine to form chemical compounds.
Are most elements man made or natural?
All the existing elements are natural the man made elements are rare and have a very short life.
Are the majority of elements natural or man made?
Natural.
