Question

the life and death of stars: white dwarfs, supernova... professor dave explains multiple - choice question why are low mass elements like hydrogen and helium more abundant than larger mass elements? hydrogen and helium are the building blocks for all other elements large elements are actually most abundant and this statement is false large elements are only made on rare occasions such as supernovas. hydrogen and helium are easier to produce because they have less protons and neutrons

Explanation:

Hydrogen and helium were the first - formed elements in the early universe through processes like Big Bang nucleosynthesis. Larger - mass elements are created in stars through nuclear fusion and in supernovae explosions, which are rarer events compared to the initial formation of hydrogen and helium.

Answer:

Hydrogen and helium are the building blocks for all other elements; Large elements are only made on rare occasions such as supernovas; Hydrogen and helium are easier to produce because they have less protons and neutrons.
