I suppose you mean "the most common chemical element". That would be hydrogen. Older stars, however, may have burned up most of their hydrogen and consist mainly of helium, or even heavier elements - the so-called "metals".

What is the most common element in a young star?

The most common element in a young star is hydrogen. During the star formation process, vast amounts of hydrogen gas collapse under gravity to form a new star. This hydrogen fuel is what powers nuclear fusion reactions in the star's core, creating energy and sustaining the star's brightness.


Is iron a element compound or mixture?

Iron is a chemical element. It is not a compound or a mixture. An element is a substance composed of only one type of atom. In the case of iron, it consists entirely of iron atoms. Iron is one of the 118 known chemical elements and is represented by the symbol "Fe" on the periodic table. It is a fundamental building block of matter and cannot be broken down into simpler substances through chemical reactions.

What are the two most abundant elements in a main sequenced star?

The two most abundant elements in a main sequence star are hydrogen and helium. Hydrogen is the primary element, composing about 75% of the star's mass, while helium makes up most of the remaining mass.


The last two elements that a massive star produces are hydrogen and helium why is this the last reaction?

Hydrogen and helium are the lightest and most abundant elements in the universe. In the core of a massive star undergoing nuclear fusion, hydrogen and helium are fused into heavier elements like carbon, oxygen, and iron. Once the star reaches the stage where it can no longer sustain fusion reactions to produce heavier elements, hydrogen and helium remain as the last elements in its core before it undergoes a supernova explosion.


What kind of fuel does a star have?
