The 'big bang' ---> under extreme heat, free particles (such as neutrons, protons and other nuclear patricles) form from nothingness.
These are left and due to randomness, some of these protons collide with electrons to form hydrogen. These hydrogen are easily able to form helium with two neutrons and 1 more proton in the nucleus.
Once these are formed, most other elements are formed via nuclear fusions in stars

Hydrogen and Helium make up 90% of the universes elements. They may not have been produced by any other means other than the Big Bang. Helium is a light element therefore it will not be attracted to the suns core, in fact, while IN the suns core it is trying to escape towards the atmosphere. But what keeps it in the core is the pressure from the outside layers of the sun. So its all a balance of gravity vs pressure in the sun. Any Helium present in the suns atmosphere had escaped the core due to an unbalance of pressure vs gravity.

Hydrogen near the sun's core turned into helium by the process of atomic fusion. Intense atmospheric pressure from the mass of all the sun's gas squeezed the hydrogen protons together to form helium.

The sun began as a mixture of rocky material,from a super-nova and a cloud of hydrogen.
The hydrogen field collapsed under gravity and the heat and pressure started a fusion furnace which fused hydrogen into helium.

Some came from the big bang. Most of it came from hydrogen fusion which has occurred during the four billion years or so that the sun has been shining.

Nuclear fusion of hydrogen. (Some has been present since the big bang.)

The same thing that formed the sun and the universe it resides in.God.

It is a process called Nuclear fusion involving proton-proton chains....
