Heavy elements like Pb lead. and U Uranium. were generated_______ .

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heavy elements like Pb and U were generated during the collapse of a star and subsequent nuclear synthesis in a supernova. This theory is supported by observations of the abundance of these elements in the universe, as well as computer simulations of supernova explosions. The other options are not supported by scientific evidence. The Sun cannot produce heavy elements through nuclear fusion, humans cannot produce these elements in nuclear reactors in significant quantities, and the Big Bang did not produce elements heavier than lithium.
