I understood that everything was made of Atoms.
An atom is the smallest constituent unit of ordinary matter that has the properties of a chemical element. Every solid, liquid, gas, and plasma is composed of neutral or ionized atoms
However with Neutron Stars;
the basic models for these objects imply that neutron stars are composed almost entirely of neutrons, which are subatomic particles
Does this mean neutrons can exist outside of an atom, and that a Neutron star isn’t comprised of an element that is recognisable on the periodic table?
