Depends on the mass of the star.

A star the size of our Sun will eject its outer layers, forming a planetary nebula with the core of the star exposed, cooling to become a white dwarf.

Larger mass stars will explode as a supernova, creating a shock wave of stellar matter, the core either condensing to a neutron star or a black hole.

What happens when a Red Giant explodes?

When a Red Giant explodes, it undergoes a supernova event, where the star releases a tremendous amount of energy in a short period. This explosion can produce heavy elements and spread them into space, enriching the surrounding region with these elements. The core of the star can collapse into a neutron star or black hole, depending on its mass.

What is a Star that explodes at the end of it's life known as?

A star that explodes at the end of its life is known as a supernova. This explosion can result in the star briefly outshining an entire galaxy before fading away. Supernovae play a crucial role in recycling material and spreading elements produced in the star's core into space.
