Because it is the simplest atom, and when the pure energy released at the big bang condensed into matter, it formed subatomic particles, which formed into hydrogen. The hydrogen then got turned into other things by stars.

No. The hydrogen in the universe was formed during the Big Bang. Stars consume hydrogen, fusing it into helium.


What chemical element is the primary constitutent of a young star?

In the current stage of the Universe, stars start off with lots of hydrogen-1 - and that's what they first fuse, since fusing heavier elements requires higher temperatures.Actually, hydrogen-2 (also known as deuterium) is even easier to fuse, but stars don't have significant amounts of that.

Why is it that you need hydrogen?

You don't really need hydrogen in elemental form. You do need hydrogen to make proteins and nucleic acids (and lots of other compounds), but normally you'll get all you require in your diet ... hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, so it's kind of hard to run low on.


How is hydrogen formed in the universe?

Hydrogen is formed in the universe through a process called Big Bang nucleosynthesis. During the early stages of the universe's expansion, high temperatures and pressures allowed for the fusion of protons and neutrons to create hydrogen nuclei. This process is considered the primary source of hydrogen in the universe.
