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.
Packing
Explanation:
Ionic crystals are brittle due to the tight packing of their crystals. This provides little to no mobility between one another.
- Brittleness implies having little to no elasticity.
- Ionic crystals are held together by strong crystal lattice forces
- These forces prevents crystals from freely rotating and moving space.
- It holds them rigidly and fixed in place.
- Ionic crystals are hard and held electrostatic forces.

If it loses an electron, it will become an ion.
Matematically speaking, maybe because:
The number of substances = number of elements + number of different combinations of those elements
2.15 x 10⁻³mL
Explanation:
Given parameter:
Volume of blood sample in uL = 2.15uL
Conversion uL → mL
micro- and milli- are both prefixes of sub-units.
liter is a unit of volume of a substance.
micro - is 10⁻⁶
milli- is of the order 10⁻³
The problem is converting from micro to milli:
if we multiply 10⁻⁶ by 10³ we would have our milli;
1000uL = 1mL
2.15uL : 2.15uL x 
= 2.15 x 10⁻³mL
