How much does 1 cubic centimeter of neutron star stuff weigh in tons?
1,100,000,000,000 kilograms = 1.21254244 × 109 short tons
How is a white dwarf different form a neutron star?
A neutron star has slightly more mass than a white dwarf. This results in higher gravitational attraction. As a result, in a white dwarf, the star's mass (roughly the mass of the Sun - may vary in different white dwarves) has a diameter of a few thousand kilometers, and a density of a few tonnes per cubic centimeter. The neutron star, on the other hand, has a diameter of only 20-30 kilometers, and a density of millions of tonnes per cubic centimeter. For comparison, water has a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter, other substances around us have similar densities; so the density of a white dwarf is millions of times the density of water, while a neutron star has billions of times the density of water.
What are the unusual properties of neutron stars?
Especially their high density - millions of tons per cubic centimeter.
Why neutron is call neutron?
The neutron is called the neutron because it it electrically neutral, hence the neu- prefix
What kind of charge does a neutron have?
A neutron does not have a charge -- its neutral
Which is the most dense mattter?
That might be the matter in a neutron star, which has typical densities of millions of tons per cubic centimeter. The situation within a black hole is more extreme, but not entirely clear.That might be the matter in a neutron star, which has typical densities of millions of tons per cubic centimeter.

The neutral or no charge particle of an atomit is located in the nucleushas the same masss as the proton?
The neutron.
Why neutron is call neutron?
The neutron is called the neutron because it it electrically neutral, hence the neu- prefix
Is a neutron positive charged?
No. A neutron carries no charge.
What is a name of an atom that has a positive or negative neutron?
There is no such thing as a "positive neutron" or a "negative neutron". A neutron is always neutral.
What does counts per second per nv represent.?
The neutron flux in a reactor is a measure of the intensity of neutron radiation in neutrons/cm2-sec. It is the number of neutrons passing through 1 square centimeter of a given target in 1 second. If n is defined as neutrons/cc, then the product nv where v = cm/sec, the mean neutron velocity, is the neutron flux, having these dimensions. The operation of the reactor requires instruments to measure the neutron flux continuously, as this is the most sensitive and fast reacting parameter to indicate the reactor power level. Different types of neutron sensitive chambers can be used for high and low power conditions, but they must give an output signal proportional to nv, the neutron flux. Some types may give an output current, others may give a count rate which can be monitored by the right form of electronic kit.
What did James chadwick do?
James chadwick was the discoverer of neutron. He gave the famous neutron reaction.
What particle most resembles a proton?
The particle that most resembles a proton could either be a neutron or an electron, and we'll have to explain that. The proton has about the same mass as the neutron, while the electron has only about 1/1836th the mass of a proton. The masses of the proton and neutron are similar. And both particles are found in the nucleus of atoms. The proton has the same electrical field strength as an electron (only of opposite polarity), while the neutron has no charge. The proton and electron have the same coulomb charge on them, except the sign of the charge. Both particles are carriers of fundamental electrical charges. In these two ways, the proton could be said to be like either the neutron or electron. And how the observer "looks" at them will determine which "likeness" he sees.
What kind of charge does a neutron have?
A neutron does not have a charge -- its neutral
