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 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.


A what is formed by a star that collapses under gravity to the point that its electrons and protrons form neutrons?

A neutron star is formed when a star collapses under gravity to the point where its electrons and protons combine to form neutrons. Neutron stars are extremely dense and have strong gravitational forces.


What subatomic particle does neutron star has?

These stars are formed preponderant by neutrons.


Are neutron stars made of neutrons?

It's pretty complicated, and we really don't know what the core is actually like... some astrophysicists think it's mostly neutrons (hence the name "neutron star"), while others think it might be some kind of weird degenerate strange matter (a kind of quark fluid made of up, down, and strange quarks).


What type of matter is the most dense?

Neutronium is theorized to be the densest form of matter. It is composed entirely of densely packed neutrons without any protons or electrons, and it is believed to exist in the cores of neutron stars.

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.

Do neutrons and electrons form a chemical bond?

Electrons do but neutrons do not


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.


Why are neutron stars called "neutron stars"?

Neutron stars are called "neutron stars" because they are composed mostly of neutrons, which are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of atoms. These stars form when massive stars collapse under their own gravity during a supernova explosion, leaving behind a dense core of neutrons.


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.
