Gravity and heat.
a nebula is the cloud of radioactive material dust smoke and debris caused by an exploding start, a nebula happens after a nova or super nova..and somtimes the collapse of a start causes black holes too in which case you wont see a nebula because the massive amount of gravity in the black holes sucks everything in, but yes a nebula is the cloud left over from an exploding star
A nebula does not directly turn into a white dwarf. A nebula will collapse to form stars. Low to medium mass stars become white dwarfs after they die. Some are the result of a supernova and do not collapse, they merely dissipate over time. The Crab Nebula is the most prominent example of this.
"Primordial nebula" is a name used to describe a region of gas in space which is undergoing gravitational collapse, and which will eventually form a star.

Gravity and heat.
Any star can form from a nebula. all it needs is some force to make it collapse, like a nearby supernova or gravitational pull.
No. A protostar forms when gravity causes dense parts of a nebula to collapse. Since gravity is an attractive force it does not make any sense that it would cause something to expand.
the answer is rotational force

Because the rotation of the nebula creates an inward force to the center of the cloud.
Because they do. In many cases, a "why" question about a physical fact is pointless. Facts are. We can theorize, fairly safely, that the original cause of the star's rotation is that the coalescing stellar nebula had some angular momentum prior to its collapse. Since angular momentum is ALWAYS conserved, the gravitational collapse would force a widely dispersed, slowly rotating nebula to collapse into a very dense RAPIDLY rotating 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.
