Answer 2

Answer 3

hydrogen is the most common element it goes through nuclear fusion, which turns them into new elements and number of the atoms increases rapidly

Answer 4

well google says 90% of a star contains hydrogen

Answer 5

yeah

Answer 6

congrats, i found that on google too. but all of those questions dont have the picture along with them. @sidsiddhartha
literally. the exact same copy and pasted answer....

Answer 7

well
shouldnt it be hydrogen
abundance means which one is common

Answer 8

but the colors /).(\ they have to do with emr, so how does that relate to the star. im dorry but it didnt give me the stars name -.- otherwise this would be alot easier

Answer 12

i am still catching up with this thing

Answer 13

Answer 14

Answer 23

THANK YOU. XD every site has said hydrogen and im like... none of those match .-. wtf....

Answer 25

the question
i think there is more to it

Answer 27

hydrogen is 10^9 times more than those given in table

Answer 28

give me somethingggggg

Answer 29

ok i will go through other links

Answer 30

that cant be, because the element hydrogens emr dosent even come close to matching the stars. neon is much closer. even mercurys is closer than hydrogen

Answer 31

Although neon is a very common element in the universe and solar system (it is fifth in cosmic abundance after hydrogen, helium, oxygen and carbon), it is very rare on Earth.

Answer 32

yeah but earth isnt a star. and it isnt this star, the one in the question, whose emr matches neons to a t..... .-.

Answer 37

I don't know if someone already said this in this thread, but i believe whichever has the most lines that directly correlate with the star is the most abundant.

Answer 38

this makes sense

Answer 39

yes c: @aajugdar already said that neon was the best choice c: and he was right

Answer 40

no
this

Answer 41

hydrogen's more spectrum lines match star's spectrum lines

Answer 42

Answer 44

@aajugdar yes this was what i was saying

Answer 45
