The abundance of the chemical elements is a measure of the occurrences of the chemical elements relative to all other elements in a given environment. Abundance is measured in one of three ways: by mass fraction (in commercial contexts often called weight fraction), by mole fraction (fraction of atoms by numerical coun...

reside. == Abundance values == Abundance of each element is expressed as a relative number. Astronomy uses a logarithmic scale for abundance ϵ X {\displaystyle \epsilon _{X}} of element X relative to hydrogen, defined by ϵ X ≡ log ⁡ ( N X / N H ) + 12.00 {\displaystyle \epsilon _{X}\equiv \log(N_{X}/N_{H})+12.00} for n...

produced by supernovae and certain red giant stars. Lithium, beryllium, and boron, despite their low atomic number, are rare because, although they are produced by nuclear fusion, they are destroyed by other reactions in the stars. Their natural occurrence is the result of cosmic ray spallation of carbon, nitrogen and ...

predicted by the standard cosmological model, since they were mostly produced shortly (i.e., within a few hundred seconds) after the Big Bang, in a process known as Big Bang nucleosynthesis. Heavier elements were mostly produced much later, in stellar nucleosynthesis. Hydrogen and helium are estimated to make up roughl...

viewed as they appeared in the past, so their abundances of elements appear closer to the primordial mixture. Since physical laws and processes are apparently uniform throughout the universe, however, it is expected that these galaxies will likewise have evolved similar abundances of elements. As shown in the periodic ...

of how certain nuclear fusion processes in stars (such as carbon burning, etc.) create the elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. A further observed peculiarity is the jagged alternation between relative abundance and scarcity of adjacent atomic numbers in the estimated abundances of the chemical elements in which ...

at 7.62. == Earth == The Earth formed from the same cloud of matter that formed the Sun, but the planets acquired different compositions during the formation and evolution of the Solar System. In turn, the history of Earth led to parts of the planet having differing concentrations of the elements. The mass of the Earth...

Many of the elements shown in the graph are classified into (partially overlapping) categories: rock-forming elements (major elements in green field, and minor elements in light green field); rare earth elements (lanthanides (La–Lu), Sc, and Y; labeled in blue); major industrial metals (global productio...

Second, the lighter rare earth elements are more incompatible (because they have larger ionic radii) and therefore more strongly concentrated in the continental crust than the heavier rare earth elements. ...

Exo-α-sialidase (EC 3.2.1.18, sialidase, neuraminidase; systematic name acetylneuraminyl hydrolase) is a glycoside hydrolase that cleaves the glycosidic linkages of neuraminic acids: Hydrolysis of α-(2→3)-, α-(2→6)-, α-(2→8)- glycosidic linkages of terminal sialic acid residues in oligosaccharides, glycoproteins, glyco...
