If you mean the inner core of the star, that will initially be the same as the remainder of the star - mainly hydrogen, and a small amount of helium. As the star burns up the hydrogen, the amount of helium will increase. Once there is not much hydrogen left, the star will get hotter, and burn helium, converting it into heavier elements.

What are the elements found on the earths core?
Iron and Nickel. They are what make the earth core magnetic.
What two elements make up earths core?
The core of the earth contains many elements, not just two.However the two most abundant elements in the earth's core are nickle and iron (the final two elements that a star can make by fusion before it dies).But there are many other elements in the core, especially ones with atomic masses greater than that of nickel and iron. Many of these heavy elements are radioactive (e.g. radium, thorium, uranium) and it is the heat generated by the decay of these heavy radioactive elements that keeps the core hot and the outer core liquid.
What of the earths compositional layers make up each physical layer?
The crust and solid brittle upper mantle make up the lithosphere.The plastic ductile upper mantle forms the asthenosphere.The mantle below the asthenospgere down to the boundary of the core forms the mesosphere.The core is split into the outer and inner, the difference being the outer core is in a liquid state and the inner core is a solid.
What is the composition of Earth's inner and outer cores?
The Earth's core is thought to be predominantly iron (85 %) with some (4-5%) nickel and the remainder oxygen, silicon, hydrogen and carbon and a number of siderophile (iron liking) elements that descended to the core with iron during planetary differentiation. The inner core is solid and the outer core, liquid.
What make the earths core hot?
natural nuclear waste

How many elements make up earths crust?
How many elements make up the earths crust? The earths crust is made of many layers..You can find clay and very good soil. But that is if you dig a little way down. the earth has a center which is called the core of the earth. Inside this core is lava and is incredibly hot. Like the sun but not as hot..
Why do less dense compounds make up earths crust while the densest compound make up the earths core?
because the heavier elements are pulled toward center of the earth by gravity

What metals makes up the core?
The outer core is a layer of the Earth, the second to last layer. It creates the Earths Magnetic field by moving around the inner core. There are two metals that make up the outer core, these two metals are iron and nickel. The inner core is so hot that it melts the nickel and iron turning it into liquid magma.

What are facts about the earths core please make it lengthy?
The Earth's core is the central core that powers up and generates the planet as a whole. This includes the elements of the Earth like Fire, Water, Air and Ground in addition to supplementing the wildlife.

because the heavier elements are pulled toward center of the earth by gravity
