What is the main reason helium is more common than nitrogen in the Universe? Because helium formed in the Big Bang but nitrogen did not Because helium has atomic number easily divisible by 4 while nitrogen does not Actually, helium is NOT more common than nitrogen in the Universe Because nitrogen is preferentially destroyed in core-collapse supernovae Because nitrogen is more abundant in the Earth's atmosphere so gets used up by respiration
