Adding all this up, we find the core is predominantly Iron metal (Fe). We find it has a significant amount of the element Nickel (Ni, about 4%) and a light element to make it less dense (about 10% by mass). This light element is either mostly oxygen or sulfur, with the arguments for oxygen (too detailed to go into here) being more believable in general
And than look at the composition of the upper mantle, etc...(just google for compostion of the Earth)

You didn´t present any mechanism how all this material "filled up" the expanding Earth. Coming from nothing? What´s the roll of the Hydrogen, BTW? Blowing up the Earth and filling it ... with ... how...?
