Question

explain the 3 ways the elements were formed and which elements were formed in each method. (Big Bang, Stellar, And Supernova Nucleosynthesis)

Answer 1

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Big Bang: During the big bang, elements were formed by the squeezing together of light nuclei. Hydrogen atoms were fused together to make helium, lithium and other light weight elements.

Stellar Nucleosynthesis: Stellar nucleosynthesis is the process by which elements are created within stars by combining the protons and neutrons together from the nuclei of lighter elements(Thoughtco). In the stars, hydrogen may be fused to give helium, lithium and other elements lighter than iron.

Supernova Nucleosynthesis: A supernova is a process in which a star releases a large amount of energy together with neutrons, hence elements that are heavier than iron, like uranium and gold, can be produced in the process.
