Which of the following is the correct decreasing order of abundance of elements in our solar system?
Updated On: Feb 10, 2025
- O > H > Fe > He
- O > Fe > H > He
- H > O > Fe > He
- H > He > O > Fe
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The most abundant elements in the solar system, according to astronomical observations, are hydrogen (H), helium (He), oxygen (O), and iron (Fe). Hydrogen and helium are by far the most abundant elements, followed by oxygen and then iron.
Therefore, the correct order of abundance is H > He > O >Fe
