Yes, if the star is massive enough when the core collapses a supernova explosion happens.

When a stars core collapses?
Neutronium, hyper-dense atomic nuclear material stripped of all electrons.
When stars collide how big of an explosion is it?
Stars very rarely collide. Space is too big for that to happen.
The interstellar medium is enriched with heavy elements by the remnants of what?
The interstellar medium is enriched with heavy elements by the remnants of supernovas. A supernova is the spectacular explosion at the end of a stars life when it collapses in on itself.
Why do some stars don't explode into a supernovae?
Some stars explode as supernovae when they run out of the hydrogen which they depend on to stay hot. Another way is due to binaries - when a particularly large star, e.g. a red giant, attracts a smaller star due to gravitational pull, and they orbit each other. The star cannot bear the heat and explodes in a massive amount of heat and light - that is how novae happen. A supernova has a much larger effect than a mere nova, and they happen when the star collapses due to reduction of fuel before the spontaneous explosion, and thus causing it to be much larger and brighter.
How do the lives of the most massive stars end?
Less massive stars end up as white dwarfs. More massive stars end up as a supernova or a neutron star or for the really massive stars...as a black hole. As a star ends its time in the main sequence it either becomes a Red Giant and end its life as a White Dwarf or becomes a White Super Giant and ends its life in an explosion (supernova) and if it's really dense it becomes a neutron star or a black hole as mentioned above.

What star blows up in a super nova explosion?
That will happen to stars that are very massive.

What happens when massive stars collapse?
The collapses star gets squeezed by collapses gas and turns into a black hole.
How do stars form?
Stars form from an accumulation of gas and dust, which collapses due to gravity and starts to form stars.
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! =)

Are the only red giant stars Betelgeuse and Aldebaran?
No, there are lots of red giant stars, too many to count. Betelgeuse and Aldebaran just happen to be close to us and bright in the sky, so we see them easily.
What is a gamma-ray burst, and how does it happen?
It happens when two gamma rays come from different stars and collide and make a big explosion . A gamma ray burst is when two gamma rays come from different stars and collide and make a big explosion. BOOM
Which stars are composed of matter in which electrons have combined with protons?
Stars may collapse to such a degree, perhaps after a supernova, that, in the core, electrons are squashed into the nucleus, reacting with protons to form neutrons. A star of this collapsed state is called neutron stars.
How large are giant stars?
giant
