Of which elements? - Stars usually consist mainly of hydrogen, less helium, and small amounts of the so-called "metals" (which, in astronomy, means any heavier elements).

Why do scientists believe that stars contain the same elements as the solar system?
The elements on the visible part of distant stars can be obtained from the star spectra, that is, by analyzing the light that comes from the stars.
Would you expect elements in a young star or in an old star?
You would expect to find them in both.
What elements are left after a star explodes?
All of them. A star begins to die when it creates Iron. Then it creates all the elements heavier than Iron. It has already created the elements lighter. Thus when the star explodes it spreads the elements it has created witch is all of them.
What are the elements that most commonly make up the Antares star?
All stars are primarily hydrogen, with some helium. Most stars contain a varying amount of trace elements as well, but hydrogen and helium are normally at least 98% of any star. However, Antares is a "red supergiant" star. That means it's heading towards being a supernova. Its composition will be complex as it fuses heavier elements up to iron and nickel. It depends exactly where it is in its evolution to the supernova stage. Perhaps someone knows a more exact answer.
What instrument is used to tell what a star is made of?
Spectrometers are used for this. By looking at the spectrum of light coming from the star, scientists can tell which elements are in the star by the pattern of lines that are known to be associated with certain elements.
Does the constellation contain only one star?
No. The word constellation means "an arrangement of parts or elements."
What periodic elements are in the star delta scorpii?
Stars contain hydrogen and helium and some other minor constituents as metals.
Why do scientists believe that stars contain the same elements as the solar system?
The elements on the visible part of distant stars can be obtained from the star spectra, that is, by analyzing the light that comes from the stars.
What elements do hydrocarbons contain?
The elements that hydrocarbons contain are: -Hydrogen -Carbons
Does hydrogen contain chlorine?
No. Both chlorine and hydrogen are elements. Elements cannot contain other elements.
Does homogeneous mixtures contain elements?
Yes, all the mixtures contain compounds or elements.
What elements are in the the star Sirius?
Hydrogen and helium are the most abundant elements in a star.
Does helium contain hydrogen?
No. Hydrogen and helium are separate elements. Elements do not contain other elements. But an element can give off or take electron from other elements.
Why does a star contain hydrogen?
More than 74% of the matter in the universe is hydrogen, so when a star forms and collects surrounding matter most of that matter will be hydrogen. It is a simple matter of the availability of different elements.
What Elements Are Present In The Star Sirius?
Hydrogen and helium are the most abundant elements in a star.
All sulfate minerals contain the elements?
All materials and that includes minerals contain the elements. Sulfates contain sulfur and oxygen
Would you expect elements in a young star or in an old star?
You would expect to find them in both.
