Answer:

This is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stars are made of very hot gas. This gas is mostly hydrogen and helium, which are the two lightest elements. ... Most stars have small amounts of heavier elements like carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and iron, which were created by stars that existed before them.
