Fusing hydrogen atoms into heavier elements produces?
It is believed this was how the universe formed. Hydrogen fuses to form all the other heavier elements on the periodic table up to Element number 92
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.)
What is thought to be the physical mechanism that was responsible for the present mix of chemical elements in the universe?
1) Hydrogen and some helium and a fairly small amount of lithium were formed very shortly after the start of the Universe, when matter cooled down enough for quarks to join into nucleons, and for some nucleons to join into heavier elements. There wasn't enough time to form any of the heavier elements.2) The heavier elements - the so-called metals - were formed inside of stars, by nuclear fusion. In some cases, significant amounts of this matter went back into space, in supernova explosions.For additional information, I suggest searching Wikipedia or Google for the following topics:NucleosynthesisSupernovaMetallicityNuclear fusion
What is formed when atoms of different elements combine?
All the compounds existing in the universe are formed.
Where are most heavy elements in the universe made?
All elements were created in the sense that the universe began with The Big Bang. Hydrogen was the first atom to form from the subatomic particles, and the hydrogen coalesced into early stars, which formed the next generation of lighter atoms. All the heavier elements were produced in subsequent generations as new stars formed, lived and died in explosions we now call novas and supernovas.
The heavier elements in the universe were formed by .?
They were formed in supernovae.
What are the heavier elements in this universe formed by?
a series of stars
What is the heavier elements in the universe formed by?
a series of star cycles
Where did most of the elements heavier than Hydrogen and Helium form in the Universe?
Other elements were formed in stars by nucleosynthesis.
How are elements formed from hydrogen?
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.

What is a hypothesis to explain the presence of iron and other heavier elements than iron?
Chemical elements are formed in the Universe by stellar nucleosynthesis.

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.)
How are elements heavier than iron are formed?
Elements heavier than iron are formed in super-nova explosions.
What is the early history of the universe from the viewpoint of a physicist from the birth of elementary particles to the emergence of chemical elements?
Once the Universe got cold enough, atoms could form. It is believed that in the Big Bang, only hydrogen, helium, and small amounts of lithium formed; all heavier elements were formed later, through fusion in stars.Once the Universe got cold enough, atoms could form.
