"Iron cannot in a normal state, be in gaseous form or any other form but a solid."

I don't know squat about this, but I'm prettty sure that whatever is at the core of the sun probably is not "in a normal state."

Oh for cryin out loud!

I made that statement to question how that much iron got collected in one place.

Hydrogen is a gas, and compresses easily and moves about freely.

Iron does not and is not present in the large amounts like hydrogen is.

We have some pretty good ideas how stars are formed. Iron has not been mentioned very much.
