The collapse of a star is based on its age. When it runs out of "Fuel" its inside contracts as the outside expands. it can then super nova or collapse into a tiny star.

Does a star 'explode' or 'implode' into a blackhole?

The usual term is "collapse". This happens when the gas and radiation pressure, or degenerate pressure, is no longer enough to counteract gravity.


What is the last stage of nuclear fusion?

A neutron star is already a dead star it can produce no more energy, although massively dense it will just continue to radiate its energy out into space until there is nothing left. There is an alternative ending for a Neutron Star and that is, if it was a part of a binary system or had enough mass collect on it could collapse further to create a Black Hole.


How do neutron stars form?

When a medium-size star runs out of fuel (hydrogen to fuse into helium), it will collapse on itself. It has a large enough mass that it can push past the resistance from electron degeneracy pressure. When it collapses more, it will get stopped by neutron degeneracy pressure. It will settle at a star that is about 20 kilometers in diameter. The star fuses protons with electrons, and these form neutrons to make a kind of "neutron soup".

Is friction responsible for the formation of a star?

No. A star forms when gravity causes a nebula to collapse. As the gas compresses it heats up. eventually, the heat and pressure ignite nuclear fusion.

What is colony collapse disorder and what causes it?

Colony collapse is when bees mysteriously disappear. Vampire mites and nicotine-based insecticides are among the possible causes.


Is it possible for a black hole to form without the collapse of a star?

A higher-mass star will turn into a supergiant, then a supernova. Then, it will collapse and shed it's outer layer and leave behind a white dwarf. However, the star may collapse even further and become a black hole.
