How does a 1.2-solar-mass white dwarf compare to a 1.0 -solar-mass white dwarf?

The sun is still converting hydrogen into helium and on up the Periodic Table. Basically the sun is in static equillibrium between expansion and contraction due to gravity. When a sun reaches the white dward stage it no longer has the gravitational force to undergo the fusion of hydrogen into helium ect

One thing that can be guaranteed is that the 1.2-solar-mass object has, by comparison and gravitational behavior, 20% more mass than the 1.0-solar-mass one.
