No. The energy of a white dwarf is simply residual heat.

Is a white dwarf star is one that does not have fuel to make is own energy?

That's called a "black dwarf". Such objects are hypothetical; they are not expected to exist yet, since it takes a white dwarf longer, to cool down to a black dwarf, than the current age of the Universe.


Carbon and what other element make up a white dwarf?

Carbon and oxygen are the two main elements that make up a white dwarf star. These elements are the end products of nuclear fusion in the core of the star before it exhausted its nuclear fuel and collapsed to form a white dwarf.


When a red dwarf dies does it make a nebula?

Yes, but it can also make a black hole or a white dwarf.


What characteristics make white dwarf stars different from main sequence stars?

White dwarf stars are much smaller and denser than main sequence stars, as they are the remnants of stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel. They have no nuclear fusion reactions occurring in their cores and are supported by electron degeneracy pressure. White dwarfs are typically much cooler than main sequence stars, emitting most of their energy in the form of visible light rather than as high-energy radiation.


Can a white dwarf kill you?

A white dwarf is the remnant of a star like our sun which forms when the stars runs out of elements to fuse. As such it will not kill you directly but if you were on the earth then you would freeze to death because the sun would no longer be producing the amount of heat that it does now.There are however situation where a white dwarf could kill you directly. When a white dwarf is in orbit round a normal star in a binary system, it is possible for the white dwarf to 'steal' gas from its companion. This hydrogen gas can accumulate on the what dwarf's surface and may periodically explode as a 'nova'. If, over time, enough material is stolen to make the white dwarf heavier than 1.4 solar masses (the Chandrasekhar limit), it will then explode as a type 1a 'super nova' which will destroy the white dwarf completely. If you were on a planet orbiting a star near such an explosion, it would kill you.
