They were formed in supernovae.
All the compounds existing in the universe are formed.
Now the periodic table is limited to 118 elements.
Uranium and the majority of the other elements (excepting H, He, Be, Li, transuranium elements) are formed after the big-bang (creation of the universe) by stellar nucleosynthesis in novas and supernovas.
Compounds are formed from elements.

Other elements were formed in stars by nucleosynthesis.
Now the periodic table is limited to 118 elements.
All the universe, including inorganic and organic materials (and of course living beings) is formed from chemical elements.
Chemical elements are formed in the Universe by stellar nucleosynthesis.
Uranium and the majority of the other elements (excepting H, He, Be, Li, transuranium elements) are formed after the big-bang (creation of the universe) by stellar nucleosynthesis in novas and supernovas.
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.

Hydrogen and helium were formed shortly after the creation of the universe (when the protons and alpha particles combined with electrons). Everything else was formed within the core of stars (by fusion reactions).
