Not in our Sun, but heavy elements up to and including iron are formed in very massive suns (stars). Elements heavier than iron are formed with suns die in a supernova.

What elements are likely to be formed in the sun at some time in its life?

Hydrogen, helium, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen are the most common elements likely to be formed in the Sun at some point in its life. These elements are produced through nuclear fusion reactions in the Sun's core.


Where were the elements found on earth formed?

It is said that when sun dies from hydrogen to iron elements are formed and when busted spread in space .the other elements are formed by chemical reaction by these elements


What elements are likely be formed by the sun at some time in its life a helium and carbon b iron and uranium c hydrogen and iron d carbon and lead?

A. Helium and carbon. The other heavier elements such as iron, uranium and lead will be created only in the explosions of supernova stars, such as the one discovered just last week (late May, 2011).


Is the iron is formed under Earth's crust?

No. the element iron requires the heat and pressure of a sun like ours to be able to form iron atoms. But our Sun did not produce the iron we have. The iron we have on Earth was made in a larger star that went nova.This iron was amongst the debris field from which coalesced the Earth.In early times, when oxygen levels were quite low, it is believed that much of the iron would have been dissolved in the oceans and they would have been rather green. After the algae invented photosynthesis, this increased the O2 content of the atmosphere, and the iron was precipitated out as the Banded Iron Deposits, which form much of the important iron deposits worked today.


What is the compound formed when iron reacts to oxygen?

Iron oxide is formed when iron reacts with oxygen, commonly known as rust.


What kind of cluster did our sun form in?

Our sun formed in a cluster known as a stellar nursery, which is a cloud of gas and dust where stars are born. The sun likely formed in a cluster with many other stars around the same time, but has since drifted away from its birth cluster.


What type of mixture is formed when iron filling reacts with sulfur powder?

Reacting iron with sulfur an iron sulfide is formed, not a mixture.


Which receptors for backing into a sun-heated iron railing?

Pain receptors, specifically nociceptors, would likely be activated when backing into a sun-heated iron railing. These receptors would detect the intense heat and send signals to the brain, resulting in the sensation of pain.


When oxygen in the air reacts with iron. what substance is formed?

When oxygen in the air reacts with iron, iron oxide is formed. This compound is commonly known as rust.
