Answered by GPT-4o mini
All stars are primarily composed of **plasma**. Plasma is a state of matter where gases are energized to the point that electrons are freed from their atomic nuclei, allowing for the presence of charged particles. While hydrogen gas is the most abundant element in stars, especially in younger stars, describing the state of matter as plasma is more accurate when discussing the composition of stars as a whole. Heavy elements are present in smaller quantities, depending on the star's age and development.
