What is the mass of a single born atom?

The mass of a boron atom is approximately 10.81 atomic mass units (amu).


What is the meaning of a neutron star?

A neutron star is the remnant of a supernova explosion. Such stars are composed almost entirely of neutrons.A typical neutron star has a mass between 1.35 and about 2.1 solar masses, with a corresponding radius of about 12 kmA neutron star is so dense that one teaspoon (5 millilitres) of its material would have a mass over 5 trillion kg. The force of gravity is so strong that an object falling from just one meter high would take a microsecond to hit the surface but at around 2,000 kilometres per second, or 4.3 million miles per hour.


How many hydrogen particles in a star?

A star is made up primarily of hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen atoms consist of one proton and one electron. So, a star contains a very large number of hydrogen particles corresponding to the total mass and volume of the star, with each hydrogen atom having one proton.


What is plastic limit?

The mass wetness at which the soil stiffens from a plastic to a semi rigid and friable state.it is the water content at which soil begins to crumble on being rolled into thread of 3 mm diameter


What is maximum mass of S8 that can be produced by combining 82.0g of each reactant 8SO2 16H2S yield 3S8 16H2O?

The molar mass of S8 is 256 g/mol. To find the maximum mass of S8 produced, calculate the number of moles of each reactant (4 moles for SO2 and 1 mole for H2S). Then, determine which reactant limits the mass of S8 produced by using the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation. In this case, 4 moles of SO2 will limit the production of S8, resulting in a maximum mass of 256g of S8 produced.

The minimum mass of a star required for it to become a neutron star is?

Approximately 1.4 times the mass of the sun, known as the Chandrasekhar limit, is required for a star to become a neutron star. If a star has a mass greater than this limit, it will likely undergo a supernova explosion and collapse into a neutron star.


What is the Chandra analysis?

Hopefully you mean the Chandrasekhar Limit or Chandra Limit (Named after the Indian born Astrophysicist bearing that name) which states the maximum mass of a White Dwarf Star. If the Star exceeds this limit, then gravity will overcome pressure within the Star and it will collapse into a Neutron Star or Black Hole. See link for further information


Why is there an upper limit to the mass of neutron stars?

There is an upper limit to the mass of neutron stars because if the neutron star is too massive, neutrons would be crushed by the gravity of the neutron star, and the neutron star would collapse into a black hole.


What is the connection between chondro shekhor limit and black hole?

The Chandrasekhar limit describes the maximum stable mass of a highly compressed type of star called a white dwarf - a collapsed remnant of a star towards the end of its life cycle. This mass limit is about 1.44 times the mass of the sun; above this mass, gravitational force is calculated to overcome the outward pressure and thus precipitate further collapse, for example, into a neutron star. If the neutron star is of sufficient mass it may yet again collapse further, into more exotic states including possibly a black hole. Note that the mass limit of a neutron star (the Tollman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit) of around 3-4 solar masses is separate and distinct from the Chandrasekhar limit - you might say that the Chandrasekhar limit is just one of the mass limits along the stellar remnant's evolution into a black hole.


How much mass must a planet have to become a star?

For a planet to become a star, it must have enough mass to sustain nuclear fusion in its core. This typically requires a mass of at least 0.08 times the mass of our Sun, known as the hydrogen-burning limit. Below this threshold, the object would be considered a planet rather than a star.


Is Sirius a low mass star?

It is, but at twice our suns mass, Sirius A is on the limit, of being an intimidate mass star. Sirius A will have a life cycle similar to that of our own star which is a low mass star, but burns hotter. Sirius B is a companion white dwarf star with a mass of around the same as our sun. Previously, it was thought to have been a star with a mass of around 5 times that of our sun, burning out more quickly than Sirius A.


Why is why is there an upper limit to the mass of neutron stars?

There is an upper limit to the mass of neutron stars because if the mass exceeds a certain value, known as the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff limit, the gravitational force would overcome the pressure from neutron degeneracy and cause the star to collapse further into a black hole. This limit is estimated to be around 2-3 times the mass of the Sun.


Why is there a lower limit on the mass that a star may have?

It's because a gas cloud has to have a critical mass in order to generate enough temperature to start the nuclear processes that enable the star to radiate heat and light.


Why is there a low mass limit for stars?

Stars are powered by nucliar fussion. There is minimum pressure and temperature requirement in order to start the process. So to became Star the object has to have enought mass to increase its internal temperature and pressure.


What neutron star is smaller than white dwarfs are thought to be remnants of .?

A neutron star is the remnant of a star, which - at the end of its life, and AFTER possibly losing a lot of mass (for instance, in a supernova explosion) has a remaining mass that is greater than the so-called Chandrasekhar limit.


What is the lower limit for the mass of neutron stars?

Well, friend, neutron stars are truly marvelous. On their cosmic canvas, the lower limit for their mass is about 1.4 times the mass of our sun. That's a comforting thought to know these celestial wonders come in a variety of sizes.


Why is there a lower limit on the mass of a star?

A star must have at least a certain mass, the exact number depends on the star's composition, in order for gravity to be strong enough to sustain fusion of hydrogen-1 at the core. Bodies just under that mass are known as brown dwarfs, which have a mass somewhere between the largest gas giants and the smallest stars.
