Why is hydrogen the most common element in the universe?

Answer 1

It is the most simple element, only one proton with one electron. in some cases, it is only a hydrogen ion, which means just one proton. also, stars are by far and away the most abundant bodies in the universe. they are made up of 80% hydrogen, meaning hydrogen is awfully common

Answer 2

Hydrogen and helium both have simple atomic nuclei that were formed fairly easily during the Big Bang. All other elements must be formed by nuclear fusion inside stars, which is a slower process. The heavier elements beyond iron are formed in supernovae, which relatively few stars produce.

Answer 3

yes hydrogen is the lightest and most abundant element, constituting roughly 75 % of the Universe's elemental mass

most stars are made of hydrogen in its plasma state even thought its very rare for natural hydrogen is rare on earth

Answer 4

Because they are the simplest elements that were created in the Big bang.

Answer 5

Hydrogen has one proton and one electron. Any less than that and you don't have an atom anymore.

Answer 6

Atoms get their atomic number from the amount of protons it has in its nucleus.

Hydrogen has only 1 proton so it has the atomic number 1.

Answer 7

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, with the lowest atomic weight and atomic number but hydrogen is not considered as father of the other elements.

Answer 8

Because it makes up most of space. But Earth's air is mostly nitrogen.
