Question

6. Which of the following statements is FALSE?
a. The core of red giant star is made up of carbon
b. The average star has shorter life span
c. The more massive the star is the faster it burns its fuel
d. No elements heavier than Iron can be produced in a massive star​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is b.

Explanation:

The b option is false because THE AVERAGE STAR LIVES UP TO 10 BILLION YEARS. The first option is correct. The third option is correct because generally, the massive the star is, the faster it burns up its fuel supply, and the shorter its life is. And the last option is also very true

Answer 2

(d). No elements heavier than iron can be produced in a massive star​ statement is false.

Iron can be made in a huge star:

• but it's a little more complicated than you may imagine.
• Heavy elements heavier than iron are produced by typical stars, but only a small percentage comes via fusion.
• In a star-forming zone, a newborn star cluster is made up of stars with a wide range of masses.

A Massive Star's Internal Structure Just as its nuclear fuel is running out:

• Elements heavier than carbon can be fused in high-mass stars.
• The interior of a large star resembles an onion as it nears the end of its evolution.
• These fusion processes all provide energy, allowing the star to continue to shine.
