Answer:

  • What types of stars form elements?

Stars create new elements in their cores by squeezing elements together in a process called nuclear fusion.

  • During what stage do certain elements form?

First, stars fuse hydrogen atoms into helium. Helium atoms then fuse to create beryllium, and so on, until fusion in the star's core has created every element up to iron.
