It's difficult to know exactly what Betelgeuse will become, but it will most likely explode as a supernova. The result will probably be a black hole, but depending on the magnitude of the explosion, it could become a neutron star or pulsar.

Is Betelgeuse a dwarf planet?
Betelgeuse is a supergiant star.
Why would a white dwarf become a red dwarf?
A white dwarf could not become a red dwarf. A white dwarf is a remnant of a dead star. A red dwarf is a star with a very low mass.
When a white dwarf star no longer emits energy what does it become?
A black dwarf.
Can a mid sized star become a or a black dwarf?
Eventually, yes. A mid-size star becomes a white dwarf, which eventually cools to become a black dwarf.
What causes a giant star to turn into a white dwarf?
A giant star would experience a supernova explosion, in order to become a white dwarf.
Is betelgeuse hotter than a white dwarf?
No, the surface temperature of Betelgeuse is colder than the temperature of a white dwarf, the white dwarf is the hot core of a dead star. Also, red stars are always colder than white stars.

Are white dwarf stars always white?
No in the life cycle of a star, a white dwarf can cool and become a black dwarf
Will a Betelgeuse star become a black dwarf when it dies?
No I don't think it will because there isn't enough stuff to make one
Will the sun become a white dwarf in the next 20 years?
No. It will become a white dwarf in about 7.5 billion years time.
Will the sun be a white dwarf for the rest of eternity?
No. After the sun becomes a white dwarf it will eventually cool to become a black dwarf.
What is the difference between stars that become dwarf stars and stars that become neutron stars?
A star that becomes a white dwarf simply does not have the mass to become a neutron star. White dwarfs are the the remnants of a star very similar to our own sun in mass, where it takes a much more massive star to create a neutron star, Like the star Betelgeuse is a prime example of a star that does not have the mass to become a black hole but is massive enough to become a neutron star.
What does a white dwarf become when it gets colder?
A brown/black dwarf.
When a white dwarf star no longer emits energy what does it become?
A black dwarf.
What does the sun become when it burns out?
A white dwarf
