(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the known Universe; helium is second. All others are orders of magnitude less common.
Both helium-3 and helium-4 were produced in the Big Bang, and after hydrogen, helium is the second most abundant element in the universe. Additional helium is produced by the fusion of hydrogen inside stellar cores, via a process called the proton-proton chain.
Hydrogen and helium make up about 80% and 20% of all the matter in the universe respectively. Despite comprising only a very small fraction the universe, the remaining heavy elements can greatly influence astronomical phenomena. Only about 2% of the Milky Way galaxy's disk is comprised of heavy elements.
These other elements are generated by stellar processes. In astronomy, a "metal" is any element other than hydrogen or helium. This distinction is significant because hydrogen and helium (together with trace amounts of lithium) are the only elements that occur naturally without the nuclear fusion activity of stars. Thus, the "metallicity" of a galaxy or other object is an indication of past stellar activity.
See also: Metal-rich
The Solar System was created from the remnants of previous stellar burning, and is hence "metal-rich" in the astronomical sense.
Population I stars contain significant amounts of elements heavier than helium ("metals", in the terminology of astronomers). These heavy elements were produced by earlier generations of stars and spread by supernova explosions. Our own Sun is a Population I star. They are common in the spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy.
Scientists believe that the Earth formed from the same cloud of matter that formed the Sun.
The graphic below illustrates the relative abundance of the chemical elements in the Earth’s upper continental crust.
Abundance (atom fraction) of the chemical elements in Earth’s upper continental crust as a function of atomic number. Many of the elements are classified into (partially overlapping) categories: (1) rock-forming elements (major elements in green field and minor elements in light green field); (2) rare earth elements (lanthanides, La–Lu, and Y; labeled in blue); (3) major industrial metals (global production >~3x107 kg/year; labeled in bold); (4) precious metals (italic); and (5) the nine rarest “metals”—the six platinum group elements plus Au, Re, and Te (a metalloid).
Note that there is a break where the unstable, and very rare, technetium would be, at atomic number 43. Also note that several elements are found at the surface in much greater proportions than in the crust, for example nitrogen in the atmosphere and chlorine in the ocean. According to the above graphic, argon, a significant if not major component of the atmosphere, does not appear in the crust at all.
Oxygen and silicon are notably common because they together are the only components of several common minerals.
