Which element in the core of a high mass star leads ultimately to a supernova explosion?

The Answer may be hydrogen.
Hydrogen moves to the suns core as it starts to die, or explode. hydrogen is a very flammable gas.
A star, like the sun is surrounded by heat.
this heat will ignite the hydrogen gases as it moves to the core. This ignition of the hydrogen will cause the star to expand in size and increase in temperature.

When a star explodes what is it called?
When a blue star blows up t is called a supernova, which eventually leads into the formation of a black hole. Although a regular star, say our sun, doesn't blow up, it turns into a huge super giant, it grows 5X its normal size and it will either gulp earth up, or burn us to death, but don't worry, that won't happen for a couple billion years, but not so good for your Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great [could go forever] grand children :D
Lack of which element can lead to goiter?
Lack of the element iodine leads to the condition called hyperthyroidism which can produce goiters.
How does a supernova or a black hole get created?
I guess in a way, you could say Supernovas do create black holes. But a supernova is a reaction from a star running out of nuclear fuel and the gravitational pull makes the star collapse in on itself. This creates the supernova, which is like an explosion that can outshine an entire galaxy before fading from view over several weeks or months. Supernovas when at it's brightest, can radiate more energy than our sun emits over 10 billion years. Blackholes are created in the same way, the supernova is practically the explosion of the star. When a supernova has faded, it will leave behind a supernova remnant. But the supernova will create either a blackhole, and if the star was massive, a supermassive black hole, or a white dwarf. Once faded, the white dwarf will become a black dwarf. Blackholes are a region of space in which the gravitational pull is extremly great. So great not even light can escape its pull, yet the light can never be sucked in. You could say light travels at speed "C" and a blackhole's gravitaional pull is a power of "C", cancelling each other out, the light goes nowhere. Once having being sucked past a point called "Event Horizon" on a blackhole, theres is really no escape. The Blackhole's gravitaional pull is centered at a point called singularity. There is believed a Supermassive Blackhole is at the centre of the Milky Way, the galaxy we live in. No one knows where a blackhole leads to. It could be a rip in space that could transport us to a different universe or just crush us, which its gravitional pull would most likely do as we got closer to singularity.
Does the isotopes have the same protons or neutrons?
Regardless of element type, an isotope will have the same number of protons as the base element. The atomic mass changes due to the addition (or subtraction) of neutrons in the atom's nucleus. This in turn leads to an unstable atom and radiation.
What elements is it made of?
Atoms of elements are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The number of protons is always the same for every atom of a given element. Thus, the number of electrons is also constant for a pure element (which is electrically neutral). However, the number of neutrons can vary; this variation leads to what are known as isotopes.
What is the explosion in Charlotte's Web?
In "Charlotte's Web," the explosion is caused by the breaking of a rotten tree limb. The loud noise of the explosion startles Templeton the rat, who then finds the missing word to help save Wilbur. It ultimately leads to the happy ending of the story.

How powerful must a fertilizer plant explosion be to be a major explosion?
A powerful explosion which leads to the complete destruction of the plant would be considered a major explosion. Since fertilizer is highly explosive, it is possible that any minor explosion will lead to a much greater explosion.
What is the element leads classification?
metal
What does a scratch test do in geology?
This tests hardness; which ultimately leads to what class the rock is in.
What are the dangers of old batteries?
explosion and battery acid leaking out which leads to rotting and deterioration of some materials
Lack of which element can lead to goiter?
Lack of the element iodine leads to the condition called hyperthyroidism which can produce goiters.
How does change occur in nature?
Natural selection. Which ultimately leads to evolution.Or God. Depending on your beliefs.
Does chlorine water bleach skin?
No, no it doesn't. Don't TRY to bleach your skin, it ultimately leads to cancer.
What is ment by the term population explosion?
when birth rate stays high and death rate goes down it leads to a rapid growth of popilation
How greed affect the life of Pardoner and the three rioters?
Greed drives the Pardoner to exploit people's sins for personal gain, ultimately leading to his downfall. The three rioters' greed for wealth leads them to turn on each other, resulting in their deaths. In both cases, greed corrupts relationships and ultimately leads to destruction.
What kind of change leads to the creation of an entirely different element?
Nuclear fusion or nuclear fission.
