Although we can not see them, we know from certain meteorites (Nickel/Iron meteorites) and from the density measurements of the rocks we see at the Earth's surface compared to the mass of the whole planet that the two most abundant elements in the Earth's core must be Iron and Nickel. Iron being the predominant of the two.
What else can I help you with?
What are most used elements?
The most commony used elements would be precious metals such as gold and silver. Copper, steel, uranium and fluorine are also commonly used.
What is the member of the boron family and most abundant metal in the earths crust?
The boron family member is boron (B). The most abundant metal in Earth's crust is aluminum (Al).
The most abundant elements in air include all what gases except?
The most abundant elements in air are nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. The gases typically excluded from this list are carbon dioxide, helium, and neon.
What element is the most abundant metal in earths crust?
The most abundant metal in the earth crust is aluminium.
Is silicon the second most abundant element in the biosphere?
No. The Earth's Biosphere is composed almost entirely of Carbon, Oxygen and Hydrogen with some Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Sulfur and trace amounts of other elements. However, Silicon is the second most abundant element in the earth's crust - second only to Oxygen.
What is the most abundant metal In earths core?
Iron is the most abundant metal in the inner and outer core of the Earth.
What is the outer cores most abundant elemant?
The earths outer core's most abundant elemant is silicon. :)
Which two elements are the most abundant in the earths crust?
Oxygen and silicon are the two most abundant elements in the Earth's crust. They make up about 75% of the Earth's crust by weight.
Why is iron the earths most abundant element?
It makes up the majority of the molten core of the earth.
What are the two most abundant element in the earths core?
Although we can not see them, we know from certain meteorites (Nickel/Iron meteorites) and from the density measurements of the rocks we see at the Earth's surface compared to the mass of the whole planet that the two most abundant elements in the Earth's core must be Iron and Nickel. Iron being the predominant of the two.
What are the symbols of the 2 most abundant elements found in earths atmosphere?
Oxygen is O and nitrogen is N.
Identify the two most abundant elements in the earths crust?
The two most abundant elements in the Earth's crust are: Oxygen (46.1%/461,000ppm), and Silicon (28.2%/282,000ppm).
What happens when earths two most abundant elements are combined?
The two most abundant elements in the Earth's crust are oxygen and silicon. When you combine them, you get silicon dioxide; which depending on the exact form it takes is glass or quartz or sand.They tend to combine further with other elements to produce silicate rocks.The two most abundant elements in Earth as a whole are iron and oxygen. When you combine them, you get iron oxide (rust, hematite, magnetite). The reason iron isn't more common in the crust than it is is that it's heavy and has been concentrated in the Earth's core.
What two elements make up earths core?
The core of the earth contains many elements, not just two.However the two most abundant elements in the earth's core are nickle and iron (the final two elements that a star can make by fusion before it dies).But there are many other elements in the core, especially ones with atomic masses greater than that of nickel and iron. Many of these heavy elements are radioactive (e.g. radium, thorium, uranium) and it is the heat generated by the decay of these heavy radioactive elements that keeps the core hot and the outer core liquid.
What are the two most abundant elements in earths crust and what mineral group do these elements form?
oxygen and silicon they form silicates, i think
What is a member in a boron family and most abundant metal in the earths crust?
Oxygen is the most abundant element in the earth's crust and is not in the boron family. Aluminum is in the boron family and is the third most abundant element in the earth's crust. Refer to the related link for a list of the 10 most abundant elements in the earth's crust and their percentages.
