What was the first chemical element produced in the universe?
A
Hydrogen
B
Helium
C
Lithium
D
Beryllium
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Scientists believe that around 100, 000 years after the big bang, helium and hydrogen combined to make a molecule called helium hydride for the first time. Helium hydride should be present in some parts of the modern universe, but it has never been detected in space-until now.

Detailed explanation-2: -Of these three, helium was the first to begin forming “real” atoms. An atom is more than a nucleus-it must also possess electrons. Helium nuclei were the first to gather a full purse of electrons en masse. Why not hydrogen or lithium?

Detailed explanation-3: -In the beginning, or at least following the Big Bang more than 14 billion years ago, there was hydrogen, some helium and a little bit of lithium.

Detailed explanation-4: -Approximately 73% of the mass of the visible universe is in the form of hydrogen. Helium makes up about 25% of the mass, and everything else represents only 2%.
