If enough mass is left over after the supernova explosion, i.e. after material is blown off into space, the star will become a black hole. Less massive stars will become neutron stars. A neutron star can convert to a black hole later, if enough matter falls into it.

What is the definition for supernova in science?
Nova (plural novae) means "new" in Latin, The prefix "super-" distinguishes supernova from ordinary nova.
Can a star less massive then the sun become a supernova?
Any stars less massive than our sun do not explode in a supernova. They will slowly cool down and burn out forming an "ember" (a.k.a. white dwarf).
Will our sun become a red giant then will it become a supernova then a black hole?
No, our sun is not destined to become a supernova and/or a black hole. It will become a red giant, but it is not massive enough to cross the threshold and become a candidate for a fate like either of those last two.
What is a supernova and what happens?
A supernova is the catastrophic death of a star, characterized by a massive output of energy.
Is a supernova a type of galaxy?
No. A supernova is a massive explosion, usually from a dying supermassive star.
What is a dense collapsed core with a very strong gravitional pull that forms when a very massive star become a supernova?
Neutron Star
Where does a supernova fit into a star's lifecycle?
A supernova occurs at the end of a massive star's life cycle.
Could VY Canis Majoris become a blue supergiant?
Never.VY Canis Majoris - WAS a blue supergiant. It is now a red hypergiant and will "soon" become a massive supernova.
Massive stars terminate in a brilliant explosion?
Supernova
A massive stars terminate in a brilliant explosion called a?
it is Supernova
What type of stars end their life as a supernova?
Massive Stars.
What will happen if the sun gone supernova?
The Sun won't go supernova (it isn't massive enough) so the question has no real answer!
