The mass of a star determines how it ends its life cycle. Less massive stars become white dwarfs, shedding their outer layers as glowing shells of ionized gas (planetary nebulae). Stars 10+ times more massive than the Sun can be rendered as supernovae, as their cores collapse into black holes.

What characteristic determines if a star will end its life as a black hole or neutron star?
The mass of the star.
What factor determines the kind of life a star is going to lead?
Mass
What is a black hole made from?
A giant star that ends it life in a supernova
Is the sun different than a star?
No. It is a typical star of the main sequence for its mass. The composition and mass of each star determines its color, size, and life cycle.
What determines all the star's properties such as its temperature size brightness or luminosity and life span?
It's Mass

What determines color of the stars?
The temperature determines the color of the star!:)
What are the main sequence stars life?
Understand that the Main Sequence is not a place or a category that a star belongs to all its life. A star's destiny is controlled by its size and this determines how much time it spends on the Main Sequence.
What determines if a star will be a white dwarf or neutron star?
Its Mass.
Is a stars eventual fate determined by its initial mass or by the mass it has at the end of it's life?
Ultimately the mass a star has at the end of its life depends on its initial mass. This mass determines what stages a star will go through in its death throws.
