Nuclear matter is a phase of matter that consists of protons and neutrons, compressed to the point where they form a degenerate Fermi gas. In the Physical sciences a phase is a Set of states of a macroscopic physical system that have relatively uniform chemical composition and physical properties The proton ( Greek πρῶτον / proton "first" is a Subatomic particle with an Electric charge of one positive This article is a discussion of neutrons in general For the specific case of a neutron found outside the nucleus see Free neutron. Degenerate matter is matter which has sufficiently high Density that the dominant contribution to its Pressure rises from the Pauli Exclusion

Macroscopic lumps of nuclear matter in thermodynamic equilibrium have to be electrically neutral, and contain mostly neutrons with some admixture of protons and electrons. A neutron star is a large gravitationally-bound lump of electrically neutral nuclear matter, whose pressure rises from zero (at the surface) to an unknown value in the center. A neutron star is a type of remnant that can result from the Gravitational collapse of a massive Star during a Type II, Type Ib or Type A common idealization is symmetric nuclear matter, which consists of equal numbers of protons and neutrons, with no electrons. Nuclei are small lumps of approximately symmetric nuclear matter, bound by the strong (residual) nuclear force at zero pressure. The nucleus of an Atom is the very dense region consisting of Nucleons ( Protons and Neutrons, at the center of an atom The nuclear force (or nucleon-nucleon interaction or residual strong force) is the force between two or more Nucleons It is responsible for

When nuclear matter is compressed to sufficiently high density, it is expected, on the basis of the asymptotic freedom of Quantum chromodynamics, that it will become quark matter, which is a degenerate Fermi gas of quarks. In Physics, asymptotic freedom is the property of some gauge theories in which the interaction between the particles such as Quarks, becomes arbitrarily Quantum chromodynamics (abbreviated as QCD is a theory of the Strong interaction ( color force a Fundamental force describing the interactions of the Quark matter or QCD matter (see QCD) refers to any of a number of theorized phases of matter whose degrees of freedom include Quarks and Gluons
