    of electrons, protons and neutrons. Protons have positive charge; electrons have negative charge and neutrons are neutral. The magnitude of charges of protons and neutrons is the same. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus, while the electrons moves around it. Mass number is addition of the protons and neutrons. Atomic number is the number of protons. [1] The mass of an atom is less than the number we obtain by adding up the masses of all the protons and neutrons. This is the binding energy

    Neutron stars are “an incredibly object made of neutron’s, like a giant atomic nucleus.” In the year 1934 two astronomers at CIT made predictions that a collapse of a large star or sun would produce a neutron star. When a star 's mass exceeds roughly 1.4M and has a iron core. It is no longer able to support itself, the core collapse from exponential forces. This is referred to as a type ii supernova or a core-collapse supernova. These newly discovered neutron stars had notable characteristics.

    stable, however if an atom is hit with a neutron, it will absorb that neutron turning into Uranium 236 (U236), and therefore becomes unstable. It then spontaneously splits into 2 atoms, krypton 92 and barium 141 molecule. A new nuclei forms when an unstable nucleus decays creating fission products. Essentially, the fewer neutrons there are loose, the fewer fissions will occur. It is noticed that both the atoms do no equal up to 236, because in fact, 3 neutrons are dispersed and then further colliding

    A neutron star is created from an old, burnt out star. When the core of the star has burnt out and turned into iron, energy is no longer being produced and the core of the star condenses very quickly. This compacts all of the protons (+) and electrons (-) creating neutrons (o) and neutrinos which are particles that do not carry a charge but are similar to electrons. Yes, this is probably where the name “Neutron Star” came from.   During the condensing of the star’s core, the neutrinos are able to

    Atoms are made of three parts, protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons are pieces of matter that is positively charged (+1). Electrons are really small, smaller than protons, piece of matter with a negative charge(-1). Neutrons are pieces of matter around the same size as protons with no charge(0). Atoms are usually surrounded by electrons. When the electron and protons are at the same amount the net charge is zero. When the number of electrons and protons are not equal it causes the atoms to be

    stars. Another way for a supernova to be created, is when a white dwarf siphons off hydrogen from another star to the point where it will become unstable and explode. What is left after the huge explosion is another dwarf star, a neutron star, or the fierce black hole. A neutron star is about the size of a city like Los Angeles, but has the mass of about two suns. This means it is incredibly dense and has an unbelievable gravitational pull, almost 2 billion times that on earth. In fact, this pull is so

    Before a neutron star is created it is a supernova. Supernova’s are difficult to see in our galaxy because dust is blocking our view.When there’s a change in the core in a star a supernova occurs. When giant stars die in supernova and their core collapse that is when a neutron star is created.This neutron star is several times bigger than the sun.Because the neutrons are tightly put together into a super dense object the supernova is very heavy it weighs about 100 million tons. Neutron stars typically

    Stella nebula-The nebula part of the name actually means cloud,an its actually spelled like”nebulae” its a latin term and nebulae is a bunch of massive clouds or just a massive cloud filled with dust,hydrogen,helium gas and plasma.Stella nebula is located about 10,000 light years from earth. People say stella nurseries is where the stars was born.

    element often vary slightly in weight due to either missing a neutron or having an extra neutron, and these differing forms are termed isotopes. An atom is still the same element regardless of how many neutrons it may have in its nucleus. For example, carbon atoms come in several varieties, as do most atoms. The “normal” ones are carbon-12 (C-12); those atoms have six protons and six neutrons. A few odd ones may have seven or even eight neutrons such as carbon-14 (C-14). Chemists consider C-14 an isotope

    Just In! James Chadwick Has Discovered The Neutron! It was a great day in May of 1932 and when we finally received answers to the other particle in the nucleus. After many years of questions and theories; one man James Chadwick has discovered a new uncharged particle, the neutron. Chadwick had been studying to find this particle since 1914 in Germany with Hans Geiger, unfortunately due to World War I he was arrested and his studies were put on halt. Although he was in prison he was still able to
