Is this true Intermediate mass stars expand in red giants and then become part of a supernova?

No. Intermediate mass stars will evolve into Red Giants and then to White Dwarfs.

Why is the word surface not included in the statistics for the gas giants?
Because gas giants don't have a solid surface.
What four planets are known as gas giants?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
How many people visited the giants causeway last year?
714,612 visitors in 2009.
How did the giants from the book BFG get into a fight?
The BFG throws a trogglehumper/a nightmare to the Fleshlumpeater then the Fleshlumpeater punches the Meatdripper then he kicks the Maidmasher and they both wake up and start hitting the Fleshlumpeater and all the giants wake up and start hitting and get into a fight.
Which of these retail giants did not open for business in 1962 Target Wal-mart Kmart or Sears?
Sears
Why do some stars become red giants and others become supernova?
i dont know
What do blue stars expand to become?
Blue giants.
Will a red giant star end as a supernova?
Not exactly. Red giants become white dwarf stars. It is the red supergiants that can become supernovas.
What do red giants become after they run out of fuel?
They explode as a supernova/hypernova to form a planetary nebula/black hole.
Do stars expand in size?
Stars expand in size to become red giants, when they start running low on Hydrogen fuel.
Why do red giants expand?
They overheat and expand.
Why do some stars become super red giant?
Because they expand, due to modecules in the air, most red gaints start out as tiny stars known as "white dwarfs" which, over millions of years, expand to form a red giant. Eventually after billions of years the Red Giant collapses and turns into a supernova, which can then form into a Black hole I hope this Answered your question! =)
Who super red giants die?
Perhaps that was meant to be "How do" not "Who". In that case, red supergiants "die" as a supernova, leaving behind a neutron star or black hole.
What are the large cool stars that are not in the main sequence?
Large cool stars that are not in the main sequence are known as "red giants" or "red supergiants." These stars have exhausted the hydrogen fuel in their cores, causing their inner regions to contract while the outer layers expand. As a result, they become larger and cooler than when they were on the main sequence. Red giants are typically found in the later stages of stellar evolution, after they have exhausted their core hydrogen and started fusing helium in a shell around the core. They are often reddish in colordue to their lower surface temperature compared to main sequence stars. Red supergiants are even more massive and larger than red giants, representing the final stages of the life cycle of massive stars before they undergo supernova explosions or other dramatic events.
Why do stars not become red giants?
Most medium mass stars such as our Sun DO become red giants. Smaller stars do not have enough mass to initiate helium fusion when the hydrogen supply begins to run low, and do not become red giants.
Why doesn't proxima centauri or bellatrix go through a supernova explosion?
Only massive stars, white and blue giants, can go supernova. Proxima centauri is a red dwarf, far to small to produce a supenova. Bellatix may be large enough to produce a supernova, but is just now leaving the main sequence, so it will be a few million years before it dies.
Fusion reactions in red super giants and supernovae create what?
Different things. A red giant fuses helium, whereas a supernova catastrophically explodes. There is no similarity.
