Not in our Sun, but heavy elements up to and including iron are formed in very massive suns (stars). Elements heavier than iron are formed with suns die in a supernova.

What elements are likely be formed by the sun at some time in its life a helium and carbon b iron and uranium c hydrogen and iron d carbon and lead?

A. Helium and carbon. The other heavier elements such as iron, uranium and lead will be created only in the explosions of supernova stars, such as the one discovered just last week (late May, 2011).


What happen to the hole of iron when heated?

oxides of iron are formed


What elements are formed in cool stars?

Elements that are formed in cool stars are heavy but not heavier than iron. (Elements that are heavier than iron are formed in a supernova.)


Why does the sun not produce produce an iron core at the center as it did in other solar system bodies?

The iron cores in the centers of some planets didn't come into existence in these planets; the iron was created in the supernova explosions of ancient stars, and blasted into space during the explosions. Our solar system including the Sun and all the planets was formed as gravity caused the gas & dust clouds in space to fall together. We're not sure why the Sun got most of the hydrogen, while the planets were formed from primarily the heavier elements. What we can be sure of is that the core of our Sun isn't nearly hot enough or dense enough to fuse lighter elements into iron, and it's a good thing - because fusing elements heavier than iron would suck energy OUT of the core, and cause the Sun to collapse and then explode in a supernova. That'll never be an issue for us, because the Sun will NEVER be hot and dense enough to do that. It doesn't have enough mass.
