how often does the letter s occur in:
look at this periodic table and describe why its designed the way it is. the next person can describe why the h, c and o are so similar in size. someone else can describe what stars have to do with what we see. someone else can describe the connection between stellar events and the small abundance of heavy elements. click the image if you need a better view.
i think it relates to stars because those are some of the main elements in stars, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen, then there is a little bit of nitrogen and boron etc. it is bigger because of how much of it is on the earths and other planets surface and also chemical similarities. there is more of hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen in the sun than any other elements. there are also less of the heavier objects of earth and more hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen.
thanks for starting us out bryce. if bryces idea about h, c, and o is correct, can someone verify it and explain why?
i believe that the h,c, and o are similar in size because they are all non-metals, and may have closeness in densities. i also believe that the periodic table is drawn that way because the more denser of the elements would be all the smaller and more compact elements.
theyre the biggest and most important elements because their all essential to life. the seven big ones, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, carbon...etc...when the hubble telescope captures incredible pictures of interstellar space, the camera uses different colors to map out what your seeing. red, i think is hydrogen, blue, nitrogen, and yellow sulfur. hydrogen, carbon and oxygen make up what most of the stars are made up of. 
the relationship between stellar events and small abundence is the life of the star. the sun has an enough amount of metals to form its own planetary system. earth was formed by metals (heavier elements) but gravity continues to pull in the gases. so, it has the metals at the core (small abundance) to form but the gases continually get pulled in.
