Why do some stars become black hole stars and not neuron stars?

Answer 1

Actually if a star is medium or low mass is will run out of fuel and turn into a red giant, once the stars atmosphere slowly drifts away and the core is remaining it will eventually become a white dwarf

For more massive stars it will turn in to a super giant the will cause a supernova, after the supernova the star can either a black hole or a neutron star

Answer 2

A neutron star is a massive star that didn't have enough mass to become a black hole. Some stars become black holes because the density is so high that the star collapses on itself and becomes a black hole.
Both stellar black holes and neutron stars are the collapsed remnant's of a star's core. In the case of a neutron star, the collapse is halted by neutron degeneracy pressure, which creates an outward force. More massive stars have strong enough gravity to overcome that pressure and collapse all the way to a singularity.

Answer 3

this depends on the mass of the star.the sun will become a white dwarf star that are a bit heavier then the sun 2 solar masses more can blow up to a super nova and star heavier than that can become neutron stars or black holes

Answer 4

Whether a star becomes a black hole or not depends on the star's remaining mass, once it runs out of fuel. If the mass is large enough, then the gravitational pull will be strong enough to turn the star into a black hole.

Answer 5

It depends on the mass of the star. Most stars become white dwarfs when they die. In such a case, the core collapses into super dense state consisting primarily of carbon and oxygen nuclei with a shared pool of electrons. Repulsion between particles holds back further collapse With very massive stars, gravity forces the collapse even further, causing electrons to fuse with protons, forming neutrons. The neutrons repel each other, preventing the neutron star from collapsing further. The largest stars are so massive that nothing can stop the collapse, and so the core crushes itself into an infinitesimally small point.

Answer 6

The reason why some stars would become black holes and not neutron stars depends on some effects at their end of life once their fuel is exhausted - how much of their outer envelope they shed; also it can be affected somewhat on their chemistry; but largely the mass is the determining factor. Stars of a certain mass too heavy to end up as a white dwarf could collapse into a neutron star; those significantly heavier and thus that contribute more to, or subsequently acquire more mass for their stellar remnant, would end up as a black hole.

Answer 7

It depends on the mass of the star and how much of the star actually goes into the remnant.

Stars between 10 and 25 times the mass of the sun form neutron stars. Stars over 40 solar masses form black holes. Stars between 25 and 40 solar masses can form either depending on how much of the star is blown away during the supernova and how much falls back into the collapsing core.
