We're chapter 15 "Galaxies and the Foundation of Modern Cosmology" I'm stumped on these two questions.

What kind of planets would you expect to find orbiting stars that formed from our galaxy’s initial supply of hydrogen?

What must be true of stars and solar systems like our own that have planets that are abundant in heavy elements, like carbon, oxygen, and iron? Why?

Planets that would be very rich indifferent types of elements since they would be shot out of the star during formation.

We had many star formations during the early stages of planets.
