Describe the further rearrangement of atoms in the neutron star?
The neutron star hasn't atoms.
How did neutron stars get its name?
The name "neutron star" some from the fact that the neutron star is mainly composed of neutrons. The gravitational pull of a neutron star is so strong that most matter are crushed into neutrons.
What stages of a star has the greatest mass?
neutron star
How do neutron stars form?
When a medium-size star runs out of fuel (hydrogen to fuse into helium), it will collapse on itself. It has a large enough mass that it can push past the resistance from electron degeneracy pressure. When it collapses more, it will get stopped by neutron degeneracy pressure. It will settle at a star that is about 20 kilometers in diameter. The star fuses protons with electrons, and these form neutrons to make a kind of "neutron soup".
Is the main difference between a pulsar and a binary system that a pulsar is made up of two neutron stars and that a binary system is made of of two normal stars?
Not exactly, while a pulsar is a specific type of neutron star (that being a "spinning neutron star") and a binary system is a pair of stars orbiting each other, a pulsar does not need to be part of a binary system. It would be possible, however to have a binary system with one of the pair being a pulsar and the other a neutron star (assumed to be the non-spinning or "normal neutron star" variety).
How many moons are around a neutron star?
There are no moons around a neutron star. A large, spherical body orbiting a neutron star would be considered a planet.
How hot is a neutron star?
According to the Wikipedia, a newly formed neutron star would have a temperature of 1011 - 1012 Kelvin, but after a year, it will cool down to 106 (a million) Kelvin, due to the large number of neutrinos it emits.
Explain how does neutron star come into being?
A neutron star is formed when a large star collapses from gravity, but, the star is able to cling on to life because as it collapses, the neutrons in the atoms that make up the star repel each other, pushing outwards against the gravitational force, keeping the star alive, but incredibly dense.
Can a neutron star support life?
No. No. A thousand times no.
What characteristic determines if a star will end its life as a black hole or neutron star?
The mass of the star.
What is a star's life like?
I don't know what you want to know, but I have a star's life cycle if you want!*A star's life cycle1. Star birth-nebula2. Protostar3.Large star Small/Medium star4. Red supergiant Red giant5. Supernova Planetary nebula6. Black hole/neutron star white dwarf7. Black dwarf

How large does a star need to be to end its life as a nuetron star?
More than 8 times as massive as our Sun.
What happens when a neutron star runs out of fuel?
Neutron stars do not have fuel. A neutron star is a remnant of a star that has already died.
Is the neutron star a young star?
No. A neutron star ts the remnant of a massive star that exploded.
