2) Why is iron the heaviest element formed in a star prior to the formation of a supernova?
A) The formation of iron in a star starts a cooling process of the star, ending nucleosynthesis.
B) Iron reacts with the hydrogen in stars to cause a violet explosion that leads to a super nova.
C) Iron is the heaviest element that is stable at high temperatures; all others are radioactive.
D) The formation of iron in a star causes a reaction with helium that causes nucleosynthesis to
end.
E) When iron is formed in the outer layers of a star, the iron has enough kinetic energy to leave
the gravity of the star.

3) One would expect a fairly even distribution of elements on the earth; instead, the distribution
is uneven. Which of the following best describes why we observe this?
A) The nebula that formed the earth had elements that were not evenly distributed.
B) Winds on the surface of the earth have moved the heavy and light elements into bands.
C) The early earth liquefied, resulting in heavier elements migrating toward the core and lighter
elements moving toward the surface. This migration to the surface was largely by lava flows,
which were inconsistent.
D) Some water-soluble elements were washed by water into pockets on the surface.
E) The magnetic properties of the core caused the metals to pool into certain areas between the
poles on the earth.
