Question

Heavy elements, like uranium, were/are created _______________. a. in supernovae and star collisions b. all of the above c. in the Big Bang. d. through nuclear fusion in mid-sized suns, like ours.

Answer 1

a. in supernovae and star collisions

Step-by-step explanation:

The periodical table contains some heavier elements, which are formed as neutron stars pairs hit eachother and erupt cataclysmically.

The star emitts very large quantities of energy and neutrons during supernova, which allow for the production of heavier elements than iron, such as uranium and gold. All these elements are ejected into space during the supernova explosion.
