As you know, there are equal numbers of electrons and protons in an atom, plus a number of neutrons. These atoms are created by a process called nucleosynthesis, which takes place either in stars or supernovae. Nucleosynthesis is the fusion (joining) of the primary particles. For some of these fusion reactions to take place, (and because of their probability) the energetic processes must be maintained for some time. Thus they can only take place in supernovae.
By these mechanisms, the atoms and their isotopes are built up from the simplest ones.
Most elements are more or less chemically reactive, and because of this only a handful exist in their native form.
What else can I help you with?
Which of these are elements that occur most in nature?
Oxygen, silicon, aluminum, and iron are among the most abundant elements in nature. They are commonly found in rocks, soils, and the Earth's crust due to their stability and abundance in the environment.
Which two elements occur in a nature as liquid?
Two elements that commonly occur in nature as liquids are mercury and bromine. Mercury is a naturally occurring liquid metal, while bromine is a non-metallic element that exists as a liquid at room temperature.
In what 2 ways can elements occur in nature?
Elements can occur in nature as pure substances, such as oxygen or gold, or as compounds when they combine with other elements to form molecules like water or carbon dioxide. Elements can be found in various forms, including solids, liquids, and gases, depending on their properties and conditions in the environment.
Which element is radioactive and synthetic?
Plutonium is a synthetic element that is radioactive. It does not occur naturally in nature and must be artificially produced through the nuclear fission of uranium.
Where is mendelevium commonly found in nature?
Mendelevium is a synthetic element that does not occur naturally in the Earth's crust. It is primarily produced in laboratories by bombarding other elements with high-energy particles.
Did halogens frequently occur in nature as free elements?
Yes, the halogens did occur in nature as free elements.
How many elements start naturally in nature?
how may elements occur naturally in nature
How many chemicals occur in nature periodic table?
About 80% of the first 117 elements occur in the nature in a stable manner.
Is actinoids all transuranium elements?
no. uranium and thorium occur in nature
Why don't these elements occur in nature?
The same reason your mother doesn't.
two elements occur in a nature as liquid?
Only Mercury occurs in nature as a liquid in its elemental state. Bromine is also a liquid element, but does not occur in its elemental form in nature.
How many elements are on the periodic table that do not occur in nature on earth?
There are variety of such elements. They have not been found on earth's surface.
How many elements shown in the periodic table do not occur in nature on earth?
118 total - 92 natural elements= 26 elements that do not naturally occur===========================
How did you get the 63 known elements?
There are a lot more than 63 known elements; we are currently up to 118.Most of these elements do occur in nature, and chemists find them in various rocks, in the atmosphere, or in other assorted places. For the elements that don't occur in nature, such as technitium, those are created by the use of particle accelerators.
What is an average of the masses of all the isotopes that occur in nature For an element?
The weighted average for all isotopes that occur in nature for an element is its atomic weight listed on the Periodic Table of the elements.
What elements occur in nature?
Elements that occur naturally in nature include hydrogen, helium, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and others. These elements make up the building blocks of all matter in the universe and are found in various compounds and substances on Earth and beyond.
In what two way can elements occur in nature?
Some elements occur in nature in a pure form, and not as part of a compound with other elements. Elements such as copper, silver, and gold are also minerals. Almost all pure, solid elements are mentals.
