How metals are formed?

Answer 1

Abstract of the Disclosure A method for the electrolytic production of metal, includes electrolyzing, between anodic and cathodic surface areas, a compound of the metal dissolved in a molten solvent, the electrolyzing being performed at a temperature such that the metal is formed in the molten state, the metal collecting in a molten metal pad, wherein the improvement includes the provision of cathodic surface area in the form of an array of elements protruding out of the pad into the melt toward the anodic surface area for establishing a series of locations at which the anode-cathode distance is up to 1-1/4 inches

Answer 2

Metals are formed through a process called nucleosynthesis, where heavy elements are created through fusion reactions inside stars. During the life cycle of a star, elements are synthesized through nuclear reactions, and when the star eventually goes supernova, these elements are scattered into space. Over time, these dispersed elements undergo gravitational attraction and eventually form planets, including Earth, where metals are found in the Earth's crust.
