What is the role of hydrogen and helium in the sythesis of elements?
Hydrogen and helium are the most abundant elements in the universe. And stars use them for power. To put it simply, hydrogen is fused into helium, and helium into carbon. All the heavier elements are made from there up through iron. The trans-iron elements are made is a supernova. It could be argued that hydrogen and helium are the basic building blocks of other elements.
Are helium and iron compounds?
No. Both are elements. Helium is a noble gas and iron is a transition metal.
The last two elements that a massive star produces are hydrogen and helium why is this the last reaction?
The star can fuse up to iron, because iron is the most stable element.
What is the best title for helium iron and oxygen?
THe elements
Is the gas around a planetary nebula helium?
The amount of helium compared to other elements differ but a nebula occurs so late in a stars lifetime that heavy elements have been synthesized. A nebula is thus often a complex combination of several elements mostly between helium and iron.

What is in a supernova?
there is Hydrogen, Iron, Helium, Uranium and most of the elements. up to the 26th element
Where are common elements made?
All elements past hydrogen are formed in stars. During the main stage of stars life, it fuses hydrogen into helium. Once it runs out of Helium to fuse, it begins fusing Helium into heavier elements. This continues until iron is formed. Iron gains no energy from fusion, so fusion stops. If the star is massive enough, it will explode in a supernova. The extreme heat can cause the iron to fuse into even heavier elements.
How do stars other elements?
for making elements from helium to nickel and iron, thermonuclear fusionfor making elements past nickel and iron a supernova explosion is needed to force nuclei to fuse more, this destroys the star

What is events of occurring in the sun?
Nuclear fusion: mainly of hydrogen into helium. To a lesser extent there is fusion of helium into larger elements - all the way to iron.

What planets could the elements carbon hydrogen arsenic oxygen neon helium and iron come from?
Earth
What are the chemical make-up elements on the sun?
hydrogen and helium The sun consists of 71 % Hydrogen, 27 % Helium, 1 % Oxygen and the last percent is made of Carbon, Nitrogen, Silicon, Magnesium, Neon, Iron and Sulfur.
