Supernova nucleosynthesis. Supernova nucleosynthesis is a theory of the production of many different chemical elements in supernova explosions, first advanced by Fred Hoyle in 1954. The nucleosynthesis, or fusion of lighter elements into heavier ones, occurs during explosive oxygen burning and silicon burning processes. Those fusion reactions create the elements silicon, sulfur, chlorine, argon, sodium, potassium, calcium, scandium, titanium and iron peak elements: vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, and nickel.
In our case, when a massive star is days away from a supernova explosion, it is composed of a lot of different things, from hydrogen at the very outer layers to iron at its very core. Most stars that are eight or more times the mass of our sun die as a Type II Supernova.he first is a supernova explosion that results from the collapse of a white dwarf, termed a Type Ia Supernova. A white dwarf is a remnant of a star that wasn't massive enough to force the ignition of carbon fusion for energy.
