Question

Which of the following is NOT a result of supernova explosions? The neutron core is completely destroyed. Any planets within a few dozen light-years receive a life-threatening dose of radiation. Many of the elements the star fused during its life are blasted out into space. Many new elements, including some heavier than iron, are fused during the supernova explosion.

Answer 1

Answer:

 The neutron core is completely destroyed

Explanation:

 A earth - supernova is an explosion resulting to the death of a star that occurs close enough to the earth but this does not completely destroy a star. Supernovae are the most violent explosions in the universe. But they do not explode like a bomb explodes, blowing away every bit of the original bomb. Rather, when a star explodes into a supernova, its core survives. The reason for this is that the explosion is caused by a gravitational rebound effect and not by a chemical reaction. Stars are so large that the gravitational forces holding them together are strong enough to keep the nuclear reactions from blowing them apart. It is the gravitational rebound that blows apart a star in a supernova.
