Following a supernova, the center of a star can collapse and make an ultra dense collection of ____ particles called a neutron star.
A
neutron
B
proton
C
electron
D
nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -After a core collapse supernova, all that remains is a dense core and hot gas called a nebula. When stars are especially large, the core collapses into a black hole. Otherwise, the core becomes an ultra-dense neutron star.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neutron Stars The core that remains after a supernova explosion is an extremely dense ball of neutrons. If its mass does not exceed three solar masses it will remain a neutron star (Begelman & Rees, 43).

Detailed explanation-3: -Neutron stars are the incredibly dense remnants of supermassive stars that have exploded as supernovae.

Detailed explanation-4: -These small, incredibly dense cores of exploded stars are neutron stars. They’re among the most bizarre objects in the universe. A typical neutron star has about about 1.4 times our sun’s mass, but they range up to about two solar masses.

Detailed explanation-5: -Black holes are regions in space where an enormous amount of mass is packed into a tiny volume. This creates a gravitational pull so strong that not even light can escape. They are created when giant stars collapse, and perhaps by other methods that are still unknown.
