How did elements with more than 2 protons, such as the carbon in our cells, form?
A. They formed from hydrogen and helium slamming into each other in the first few minutes after the big bang.
B. They formed 400 million years after the universe formed in giant fusion reactors known as stars.
C. They were formed at the same time as hydrogen and helium right after the big bang.
D. They are formed when lighter elements are pulled together by gravity to form a planet.

When lighter elements are pulled together by gravity to form a planet, the elements with more than 2 protons, such as the carbon in our cells, form.
Here option (D) is correct.
- Elements have a given number of protons in the nuclei, that's why they are a substance & they are present in the periodic table.
- In any simpler form in a chemical reaction, elements can not be divided
- When the lighter elements collide together in the earth from gravity the elements that have 2 protons have formed and created a new element.
- Gravity is determined by the mass of objects. All elements have masses.
- As the temperature increases and additional fusion processes proceed, gravity continues to pull carbon atoms together.
Thus, elements with more than 2 protons, such as the carbon in our cells, are formed when lighter elements are pulled together by gravity to form a planet.
