What are super heavy elements?

Super heavy elements are elements with atomic numbers greater than 104. They are synthetic and do not occur naturally on Earth. These elements are typically produced in laboratories through nuclear reactions involving heavy isotopes.

The interstellar medium is enriched with heavy elements by the remnants of what?

The interstellar medium is enriched with heavy elements by the remnants of supernova explosions. Supernovae are massive stellar explosions that release heavy elements such as carbon, oxygen, and iron into space, enriching the surrounding interstellar medium with these elements.


Does a heavy or light star produce heavier elements?

Heavy stars produce heavier elements through nuclear fusion in their cores. As heavy stars age and undergo supernova explosions, they release these heavier elements into the surrounding space, enriching it with elements beyond hydrogen and helium. Lighter stars are not massive enough to produce heavy elements through fusion.
