Heavier elements are formed from hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, through a process called nuclear fusion. There are machines or structures in the universe that do this, and we call them stars. It is the process within stars, stellar nucleosynthesis, that allows heavier elements to be created up through iron. Elements heavier than iron are formed in supernova events.

How are elements heavier than hydrogen formed?
They are formed inside of stars.
What is broken down and formed in the decomposition of water?
Hydrogen and Oxygen are the two elements that are formed when water decomposes.
What chemical elements are formed inside stars?
All of them except hydrogen.
How are heavier elements formed from hydrogen within the core of a star?
by the process of nuclear fusion
Why is hydogen unique?
Hydrogen is the only primordial element in the universe. All the other elements formed inside stars from hydrogen or from other secondary elements, by nuclear fusion. Hydrogen has the least number of protons in its nucleus of all the elements, and hence has the lowest atomic number, one.
How are elements heavier than hydrogen formed?
They are formed inside of stars.
Where were the elements found on earth formed?
It is said that when sun dies from hydrogen to iron elements are formed and when busted spread in space .the other elements are formed by chemical reaction by these elements
How are elements beyond hydrogen and helium formed?
Fnxbm
What is broken down and formed in the decomposition of water?
Hydrogen and Oxygen are the two elements that are formed when water decomposes.
What is hydrogen gas formed by?
It is not technically 'made of' any elements as it is the element Hydrogen already.
Formed by combining the elements hydrogen and oxygen?
h2o is water h2o2 is hydrogen peroxide
Is it true that Hydrogen and Helium were formed by nuclear reaction in the stars and other elements were formed after the Big Bang?
Close, but not exactly. Hydrogen is not formed by nuclear reactions in stars, hydrogen was formed not long after the Big Bang, when the expanding universe had cooled sufficiently that an electron and a proton could combine to form a hydrogen atom. Helium and all the other elements that are heavier than hydrogen, were formed by the process of nuclear fusion, in stars.
What chemical elements are formed inside stars?
All of them except hydrogen.
What is the atomic number of hydrogen chloride?
Since hydrogen chloride is not an element but is, instead, formed by two elements, it does not have an atomic number. Only elements have atomic numbers.
What is formed by combining the elements hydrogen and oxygen?
water Only if it's 2parts hydrogen to one part oxygen, H2O.I part each they are elements of combustion.
Where did most of the elements heavier than Hydrogen and Helium form in the Universe?
Other elements were formed in stars by nucleosynthesis.
What is formed when an amino group is substituted for a hydrogen?
When an amino group is substituted for a hydrogen, ammonia is formed. You can form more compounds by substituting the various elements in an amino group.
