It is not specifically those elements which "produce stars". Whatever elements happen to be around clump together, through gravity, and form the star.

How are the elements carbon nitrogen and oxygen produced in stars like the sun?

These fusion (carbon , nitrogen , and oxygen) reactions form nuclei of sightly heavier elements.


What elements made up the sun and in what percentage?

70 % hydrogen, 28 % Helium, 1.5 % mix of carbon oxygen, & nitrogen, plus 1/2 % of everything else.


Why can elements be produced in the sun but not in the earth atmosphere?

Over time, the fusion reactions can form as the reactions that form nuclei of slightly heavier elements, such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. Thank you = )


What process produces oxygen and returns it to the atmosphere?

The process that produces oxygen and returns it to the atmosphere is photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants, algae, and some bacteria convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen. The oxygen is released as a byproduct into the atmosphere, playing a crucial role in maintaining Earth's oxygen levels and supporting aerobic life. This process is essential for the survival of most living organisms on the planet.


What is the process that produces elements in a stars?

Elements in stars are produced primarily through nuclear fusion processes. In the core of a star, hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium under immense pressure and temperature, releasing energy in the process. As stars evolve, they can fuse heavier elements, creating carbon, oxygen, and even heavier elements in more massive stars. Eventually, during supernova explosions, these elements are dispersed into space, contributing to the formation of new stars and planets.

How do beryllium carbon and oxygen produce star?

As helium builds up in the sun's core, other fusion reactions occur. Over time, two or more helium nuclei can fuse, forming beryllium. Another helium nucleus can fuse with a beryllium nucleus, forming carbon, and so on. Stars the size of the sun do not contain enough energy to produce elements heavier than oxygen. But larger stars do.The Sun isn't making those elements; what of them exist are the result of production in other stars. Currently, the Sun makes only helium, which, although it's really a gas, was named "sun metal."Edit: The Sun will make heavier elements later, but only up to oxygen. The way stars like the Sun make carbon and oxygen is by nuclear fusion. This is the same way they make helium from hydrogen. This process of making elements is called nucleosynthesis. The details can get quite technical, but the basic idea isthat one atomic nucleus combines with another to produce the nucleus of a new element.


What other elements can beryllium combine with?

Oh, dude, beryllium can combine with oxygen, carbon, and other elements to form compounds. It's like a social butterfly of the periodic table, always mingling and making new friends. So, yeah, beryllium can totally bond with a bunch of different elements, if it feels like it.
