How do you create elements?

Answer 1

Originally all elements come from one element, the most basic element that was before any other was Hydrogen, from hydrogen all other elements are created in a process called thermo nuclear fusion.

Thermo nuclear fusion is the process in which elements heat up to such a temperature that they start to collide with each of the same element to create 1 element that is 1 step higher than the last 2. The Periodic Table can help you work out the order of what element was created by what. Just to give a quick few Hydrogen came first then 2 collided and created helium then the same process happened and created oxygen then carbon then sulphur and so on.

There's another way of making the elements. Element hydrogen has 1 proton, 1 electrons and 0 neutrons. so its the lightest element in the periodic table. and helium, it has 2 protons, 1neutron and 2 electrons. So this is how scientist ACTUALLY created elements. The top mentioned way is to create water (H2O), and other molecules

Thermo nuclear fusion is naturally taken place in stars (which have hydrogen on the outside, and as it goes deeper in, pressure changes it to helium), bigger stars can create more complex elements as they are hotter (more complex elements are heavier and will not collide at the same temperature hydrogen may do).

A star of any size can only create elements as complex as iron, more complex elements than iron are created in the explosion of a large size.

A question you may be wonering is how was hydrogen created. Nobody knows as far a society and scientists know.

Answer 2

Elements can be created through various processes, such as nuclear reactions in stars (nucleosynthesis), particle accelerators that collide atomic nuclei, or by chemical reactions that combine different atoms together. Once created, elements can exist in different forms based on their atomic structure and properties.
