Hydrogen and helium are thought to be formed during the Big Bang. We also know that helium is formed in stars during the process of stellar evolution. The other elements formed in stars during stellar evolution and end-of-life stellar events (like a supernova). It could be said that with the exception of hydrogen, all the elements formed in stars during one phase or another of the life of stars. This though minute quantities of some isotopes that are found in nature appear in the decay chains of other isotopes and were not themselves created in stars as described.

What form are most elements in nature?
Most elements in nature are found in the solid state.
Where were the elements found on earth formed?
It is said that when sun dies from hydrogen to iron elements are formed and when busted spread in space .the other elements are formed by chemical reaction by these elements
What elements before neptunium are not found in nature?
All the elements before neptunium are found in the nature. Also neptunium can be found in the nature only in ultratraces resulting from nuclear weapons experiments or other experiments.
What are elements that can not be found on earth and can be created called?
Synthetic elements are not found in nature but are created in laboratories.
Are alkali metals always found pure in nature?
Alkali metals are not found as pure elements in nature.
How are usually found?
In the nature the majority of chemical elements are found as compounds.
How many elements have been found to occur in nature?
There are currently 118 elements, ranging from #1 Hydrogen to #118 Ununoctium. Many of the transuranium elements (#93-#118) are synthetic, meaning that the only place they have been found is in a laboratory, thus do not exist in nature. Technetium (#43) and Promethium (#61) are also synthetic.
What is a nature of a molecules?
Molecules are formed from chemical elements associated by chemical bonds.
Which two groups of elements are never found uncombined in nature?
group 1 elements
What elements can be found in nature?
All the elements with the atomic number in the range 1-97.
Can new elements be found in the nature?
There aren't any more "new" elements that can be found in nature. The only elements left to discover are all man-made "super-heavy elements" (The uuu, uub, uut, etc. in the periodic table).
