There is an upper limit to the mass of neutron stars because if the neutron star is too massive, neutrons would be crushed by the gravity of the neutron star, and the neutron star would collapse into a black hole.
Neutron stars are so heavy because they are the compact core of a star that is 8 time the mass of our Sun. The most massive neutron stars possible are 3 times the mass of our Sun.
Low and medium sized stars will end up as white dwarfs.
Neutron stars and black holes.
White dwarf. High mass stars become neutron stars or black holes.
Yes, there are limits for stars - limits to lower and upper mass, longevity, size, etc. Given the mass of the universe a limit for the number of extant stars would also exist. During stellar collapse at end of a star's life there are some well-studied limits answering to degeneracy pressure, like the Chandresekhar limit, the Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit, etc., which prevent further collapse until a certain mass limit is exceeded (perhaps the last limit being quark degeneracy pressure before further collapse into a black hole). For further examination of a given limit, the limit in question would need to be identified.

Some massive stars will become neutron stars. When massive stars die they will either become neutron stars or black holes depending on how much mass is left behind.
No. It does not have enough mass. Only stars 8 times the mass of the sun or greater can become neutron stars. The sun will become a white dwarf.
Objects above this mass fuse hydrogen too rapidly and cannot stay together.
Low and medium sized stars will end up as white dwarfs.
It can be a black hole or a Neutron Star
Neutron stars and black holes.
No. Stars such as our sun become white dwarfs. Only stars 8-10 times the mass of the sun or more become neutron stars.
A star that becomes a white dwarf simply does not have the mass to become a neutron star. White dwarfs are the the remnants of a star very similar to our own sun in mass, where it takes a much more massive star to create a neutron star, Like the star Betelgeuse is a prime example of a star that does not have the mass to become a black hole but is massive enough to become a neutron star.
Neutron stars are formed when stars with more than 8 times the mass of the Sun run out of fuel and explodes as a supernova. After the star explodes, the core of the star remains, the core would then become a neutron star or a black hole. If the core remain is less than 3 times the mass of the sun, it would become a neutron star.
Neutron stars
There are three types of stellar remnants. Low to medium mass stars will become white dwarfs. High mass stars will become neutron stars. Very high mass stars will become black holes.
