Which element in the universe was made after the big bang before any stars where made?

Scientists reckon that Hydrogen nuclei were the first to form (being the most simple element), around a few milliseconds after the `big bang`. Between 3 and 20 minutes they reckon that helium nuclei were the next to be formed. They then say that these nuclei were not able to capture electrons until around 379,000 years later.

What is the main source of hydrogen in the universe?
The original "big bang" is thought to have created primarily hydrogen, with a small proportion of helium and a trace of lithium. So all hydrogen that we see today is "left over" from the big bang. Every other element, including the carbon in our bodies and the iron in our blood was generated by nuclear fusion in the cores of stars - stars that later exploded, releasing these elements into the universe.
What is one of the primary unanswered questions about the origin of the universe?
what came before the big bang.
During the big bang the element hydrogen was created What did the hydrogen create?
Hydrogen, possibly helium but probably just hydrogen. All of the heavier elements in the universe today, including the vast majority of the matter that makes up Earth and its inhabitants (us!) were created in the nuclear fusion of stars.
When was first element created?
About 377,000 years after the Big Bang
How many earthquakes has there been since the big bang?
We do not currently know and in fact we may never know. Due to the nature of the big bang, and the fact that all space, matter and energy are a direct result of it, there is no way to accurately detect anything outside of its scope. Everything we know about the universe comes from observing and analyzing the universe around us. Since the universe we know did not exist before the big bang there is nothing we can learn about the "before time" from observing the universe we live in. There may have been a universe before that which went into a "big crunch" which led to the big bang of our universe. It is natural to assume that if that were the case then that previous universe must have also had its origins in a big bang as well, and perhaps its all part of a huge cycle. In fact, since the big bang is the origin of everything in our universe, including space itself, it may also be the origin of time itself, and so there may not have been a "before" the big bang. But more to the point, in order for another big bang to occur, the universe would have to be compressed in a "big crunch" into a singularity before that could happen. There are some theories which point this direction, and there are some which do not.
What star made The Big Bang?
The Big Bang (ultimately) made the stars, not the other way around. The universe wasn't even here for there to be stars in before the Big Bang.
How was the very small and very hot universe bubble born before Big Bang?
It wasn't. The Big Bang was the beginning of the universe; the universe didn't exist before then.
Why is hydrogen considered the primordial element in the universe?
Because hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. Also hydrogen was the first element which appeared after Big Bang.
Is hydrogen found in the universe formed by stars?
No. The hydrogen in the universe was formed during the Big Bang. Stars consume hydrogen, fusing it into helium.
How the temperature of the Universe dropped after the Big Bang?
The big bang was the BEGINNING of the universe so there was no temperature before it :P
Is the big bang theory is the cause of the different sizes of a stars?
No, not really. The Big Bang theory has to do with the universe as a whole, not piddly little things like stars.
How did stars become in space?
Look up the big bang, its about how the universe was created- but the big bang is the same way stars got, and are still getting created.
What best describes the universe before the Big Bang for a k12 student?
The universe did not exist before the Big Bang. There was nothing there. It can be hard to grasp for young minds.
In the beginning of the universe- what was the most abundanet element?
Shortly after the Big Bang Hydrogen was the most abundant element in the universe followed by small amount of Helium and an even smaller amount of Lithium. Even at 13.73 billion years after the Big Bang Hydrogen is still far the most common element in the Universe.
Is there any chance to occur the big bang without universe?
Our concept of the "big bang" has no explanation about how or why, but our hypothesis is that there was NOTHING before the Big Bang created the universe.
What formed the first structures of universe?
The prevailing scientific theory is that the universe started with the Big Bang.
The big bang refers to?
A type of explosion that some believe started the Universe.
