when a supernova occurs and the star is destroyed but if some how the nucleus survives and its mass is 1.4 solar masses then the nucleus started to shrink under its own gravity then the next stable state is neutron star.

What causes isotopes?
An unstable ratio of protons and neutrons.
What are neutron stare?
Do you mean neutron stars? Any atom you can think of has the same number of electrons as protons in the nucleus. Some stars have collapsed under their own gravity so that the electrons have been squeezed into the nucleus. When they do that, they combine with the equal number of protons to form neutrons in every case. So instead of atoms with neutrons, protons and electrons, you are left with just neutrons, and neutrons are much much smaller than atoms. The densities and gravitational fields in the vicinity are enormous.
What subatomic particle does neutron star has?
These stars are formed preponderant by neutrons.
What force causes extremely high mass stars to turn into black holes instead of nuetron stars?
Black holes are formed by super massive stars when they collapse. Less massive stars will form neutron stars. Therefore, the original size and mass of the star will determine if a black hole will be created when the star collapses.
What do stars too massive to form neutron stars what do they form?
A black hole.
Describe how gravity causes stars to form galaxies?
It depends on how much gravity that causes stars to form. It depends on how big the star in the galaxies is.
How does gravity affect the formation of stars?
Gravity doesn't just "affect" the formation of stars; it's just about the only force that CAUSES the stars to form in the first place.
What do black holes and neutrons stars have in common?
Both are the collapsed remnants of massive stars.
What causes isotopes?
An unstable ratio of protons and neutrons.
Do neutrons and electrons form a chemical bond?
Electrons do but neutrons do not
What contains the densest material in the universe?
as neutrons have heaviest mass in an atom,and also neutrons are major constituents of neutron stars.so neutron stars ae most densest in the universe
How come all stars do not form into a black hole?
Not enough mass to collapse enough.light weight stars collapse only to a white hot ball of ordinary nickel-iron alloy, called a white dwarfmedium weight stars can collapse the atoms, forcing the orbiting electrons into the nucleus and converting protons to neutrons, this star is a ball of nearly nothing but neutrons called a neutron starheavy weight stars can collapse subatomic particles, only these stars can become a black hole
Can neutrons cause static electricity?
No. The movement of electrons is what causes electricity, and neutrons take no part in it.

What else are stars made of other than hydrogen?
Stars are also made out of helium, calcium, and potassium. Neutrons stars and plasma stars are also common.
What do the protons and neutrons form?
Atomic nucleus is formed from protons and neutrons.
What subatomic particle does neutron star has?
These stars are formed preponderant by neutrons.
