They were formed in supernovae.
All the compounds existing in the universe are formed.
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.)
Now the periodic table is limited to 118 elements.
Uranium and the majority of the other elements (excepting H, He, Be, Li, transuranium elements) are formed after the big-bang (creation of the universe) by stellar nucleosynthesis in novas and supernovas.
They were formed in supernovae.
They were formed in supernovae.
Heavy elements were formed in stars, and blown out into space in supernova explosions.
a series of stars
In the early Universe, there were no heavy elements around - all the matter of the Universe was in the form of hydrogen, helium, and small amounts of lithium; until the first stars formed, created these heavier elements, and put them out into space when they exploded as supernovae.
Such elements are formed within stars. The heavy elements which are currently here on Earth were formed in stars some time ago, and then they were blown into space in supernova explosions.
All the compounds existing in the universe are formed.
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.)
a series of star cycles
Other elements were formed in stars by nucleosynthesis.
Now the periodic table is limited to 118 elements.
Gold and silver - and indeed all the elements are not formed on any planet (though they may be found on planets). the elements Hydrogen and Helium were formed at the begining of the universe during the early stages of the big bang. Later all the other elements up to the mass of Iron were formed from hydrogen and helium in the cores of stars. The elements heavier than Iron are all formed in supernova explosions when big stars explode at the end of their lives. These explosions scatter these new heavy elements out into space where the eventually collapse to form new suns and the planets round these suns. Thus all the Gold and Silver found on earth were formed in dead stars and were part of the dusty disk that formed round our sun in its youth. This disk gave rise to all the planets and therefore there will be some Gold and Silver in all the planets. Elements are not formed on planets (Unless human intervention was involved). Heavy metals like Gold and Silver are formed through fusion inside of a star. As a result, gold and silver should be scattered throughout the universe.
