Anything other than hydrogen and helium
Younger stars have more heavy elements because they form from the remnants of older stars that have already produced and dispersed these elements through processes like supernova explosions.
Silver is considered a heavy metal in terms of its density compared to lighter elements like oxygen or carbon. However, it is not as heavy as some other metals like gold or platinum.
Yes, silver is a relatively heavy metal compared to other non-metallic elements. It has a density of 10.49 grams per cubic centimeter, making it heavier than materials like aluminum or copper.
Elements with more protons and neutrons than iron are believed to have formed through processes like supernova explosions. These heavy elements, such as gold and uranium, are created in the intense conditions of these cosmic events.
The heaviest metals on the periodic table are typically considered to be elements like uranium, plutonium, and curium. These elements have high atomic numbers and are known for their dense and heavy properties.
Astronomers believe Mercury has a high concentration of iron because it is one of the densest planets in our solar system, suggesting a significant amount of heavy elements.
Astronomers believe the globular clusters are made of old stars because of the lack of heavy elements. The heavy element is very abundant in stars like our sun, so the theory is the globular cluster must be older and formed in a more primitive universe.
Heavy elements were formed in stars, and blown out into space in supernova explosions.
Chemists deal with the table of elements and the universe contains these elements. Astronomers study space and the planets stars and whatever else is in space contains these elements. Chemistry helped the U.S. to be the first to the moon.
What elements the star is made of.
Many people consider the first astronomers to be the first humans that ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what was really up there. So cavemen were probably the first astronomers.
Super heavy elements are elements with atomic numbers greater than 104. They are synthetic and do not occur naturally on Earth. These elements are typically produced in laboratories through nuclear reactions involving heavy isotopes.
Jupiter contains the fewest heavy elements. Unlike other planets, Jupiter is a gas planet, and contains mostly light elements.
The interstellar medium is enriched with heavy elements by the remnants of supernova explosions. Supernovae are massive stellar explosions that release heavy elements such as carbon, oxygen, and iron into space, enriching the surrounding interstellar medium with these elements.
Heavy stars produce heavier elements through nuclear fusion in their cores. As heavy stars age and undergo supernova explosions, they release these heavier elements into the surrounding space, enriching it with elements beyond hydrogen and helium. Lighter stars are not massive enough to produce heavy elements through fusion.
Heavy elements.
A heavy ion is the nucleus of a heavy atom. Heavy atoms are those of elements with atomic weights around that of cobalt or greater.
