The nuclei of atoms become unstable when the repelling forces of the protons cannot be balanced by the number of neutrons in the nucleus. It then re-arranges itself randomly to a more stable configuration by emitting any of a series of particles. During radioactive decay, an atom does not collapse.
Since an atom is mostly empty space - that is it’s nucleus is relatively distant from the electron shells so, in the presence of extreme forces such as gravity inthe collapse of a large star, the inward pressures on the atom overcome the natural balance of the atomic structure and the ‘empty space’ disappears as nuclei are mashed together by the intense pressures and a neutron star is formed. Under even more external pressure, even the neutron star can collapse to form a black hole.
Answer:
Like most other metals, Gallium is solid at room temperature (or liquid if it is too hot in your room). But, if it is held [in hands] for long enough, it melts in your hands, and doesn't poison you like Mercury would. This is because of its unusually low melting point of (~29 degree Centigrade).
- It melts once it reaches its melting point.

Answer: The salt produced will be
Explanation:
During a neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with a base for producing the correspondent salt, and water.
The strong acids release all the protons avalaible when are dissolved, such as sulfuric acid. As you can see, sulfuric acid have 2 protons ready for being released (); and those places have to be occcupied for other ions equivalents to the H+: K+ from KOH in this case.
Therefore the answer will be .
