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.

What are majority of the elements made of?

The majority of elements in the universe are made of hydrogen and helium, which are the two lightest and most abundant elements. Other elements are formed through nuclear fusion processes in stars or during supernova explosions.


What different elements is the core of the earth made of?

Because of gravity, the Earth's inner layers consist of the heavy elements, mainly metals. The heavy and radioactive ones are the origin of most of the heat.


Are most elements man made or natural?

All the existing elements are natural the man made elements are rare and have a very short life.


Why are the inner planets made of heavy materials?

The Inner Planets dense and rocky because they are close enough to the sun that the heat has driven off the free hydrogen and helium which forms most of the Gas Giant planets (and most of the universe). Only the heavier elements remain.


What are the next five most common elements?

Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe. Helium, Oxygen, silicon, and aluminum are the next most common elements in the universe and on earth.


Where were the commonest elements made?

Common elements like hydrogen and helium were primarily formed during the Big Bang, the initial explosive event that created the universe. Elements heavier than helium are formed in the cores of stars through nuclear fusion reactions. Very heavy elements are produced in supernova explosions.


What are the 5 most abundant elements that make up atomic matter in the universe and what approximate percentages do they occur?

The six most common elements in our galaxy are as follows:Hydrogen: 74%Helium: 24%Oxygen: 1.04%Carbon: 0.42%Neon: 0.13%Iron: 0.11%These values, obtained by spectroscopy, will give accurate estimates for local regions of the universe.The abundance of elements in more distant galaxies will have lower percentages of heavy elements (ie heavier than Helium) as they have had a shorter period of time to accumulate heavy elements from stellar nucleosynthesis.
