A neutron's "point" is to become a building block of an atom. The question may be "better" than it may first appear, because if a neutron is released from a nucleus during fission or radioactive decay, if it doesn't become absorbed by another nucleus, it will decay. It's half life is on the order of 886 seconds, or something a bit under 15 minutes. The neutron is an absolute necessity in atomic construction. No atomic nuclei with more than one proton can exist without a neutron or neutrons contributing to the mass deficit that creates the binding energy. (Protons don't like each other, remember? Right.) The neutron lives to be a part of an atomic nucleus. It doesn't last long when it's on its own.
What else can I help you with?
What charge is a neutron?
A neutron has no charge, as it is electrically neutral.
What is the abbreviation of neutron?
The abbreviation for neutron is "n".
What is a sentence for neutron?
A sentence for neutron is:A neutron can be described as an uncharged elementary particle
What year did Rutherford discovered neutron?
The neutron was discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.
What do an electron and a neutron have in common?
Both an electron and a neutron are subatomic particles found in an atom. They both have a negative charge, but a neutron has no charge.
What do you mean when you say every pulsar is a neutron star but not every neutron star is a pulsar?
All "pulsars" are neutron stars - it's just "we" term pulsars as neutron stars who's orientation towards us shows the beam of electromagnetic radiation. Other neutron stars who's orientation, do not point towards us are not called pulsars, although they exhibit the same characteristics.
What is a star that has collapsed to the point where electrons and protons are smashed together?
Neutron Stars are stars that have collapsed to the point where electrons and protons are smashed together.
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 is a single point where all matter from an extremely massive neutron star has condensed and from which no light can escape?
A black hole is a single point where all matter from an extremely massive neutron star has condensed to a point of infinite density, called a singularity. The immense gravitational pull of a black hole is so strong that not even light can escape its event horizon, the point of no return.
Are all pulsars neutron stars?
All young neutron stars in reality are "pulsars". However, for a neutron star to be termed a pulsar, it's magnetic axis has to point towards Earth. (So we can see the pulse, even though all young neutron stars have a pulse, they cannot be observed from Earth.)
What is formed by a star that collapses under gravity to the point that its electrons and protons form neutrons?
A neutron star.neutron star
How is a neutron star different from a black hole?
A neutron star is the collapsed core of a star in which atoms have been crushed, and electrons have fused with protons to form neutrons. The collapse stops at this point. A neutron star is extremely dense but has a finite density and emits radiation. A black hole is an object that has collapsed completely to an infinitely dense point. It cannot really be considered matter at this point. Around this singularity is a region of extremely strong gravity and highly distorted spacetime from which nothing, not even light can escape.
What particle in the nucleus of an atom has no charge?
you already partly answered your own question. Neutrons.
What is the name of jimmy neutron's mom?
Judy neutron
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 did James chadwick do?
James chadwick was the discoverer of neutron. He gave the famous neutron reaction.
