The correct option for the statement "Metals are relatively more abundant in”.
Answer to Problem 8RAT
The correct option for the statement "Metals are relatively more abundant in” option (b).
Explanation of Solution
Hydrogen was the only element present during the formation of the Universe. The fusion of hydrogen led to the formation of lithium and small amounts of lithium and beryllium. Thus, metals were in small quantities at the time of the formation of the Universe. Therefore, metals were less in older stars.
The phenomenon of supernova occurs in younger stars producing high thermal energies. Due to it, more metals such as silver, iron, gold and many more, are produced in the younger stars.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option for the statement "Metals are relatively more abundant in" is option (b).
