Both white dwarfs and neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of the collapsed cores of dead stars.
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars match the description. Neutron stars are smaller, hotter, and denser.
the simple reson is mass.......that is if the star under consideration is a heavy one, it is more likely to turn into a black hole and if it is comparatively smaller it is prone to turn into a neutron star or a white dwarf
White dwarfs are prevented from collapsing further by electron degeneracy pressure. If the mass of a stellar remnant exceeds the Chandrasekhar limit, about 1.4 solar masses, gravity will overcome this pressure and form a much smaller and denser neutron star. Further collapse in a neutron star is prevented by neutron degeneracy pressure up until the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit of about 3 solar masses, at which point gravity causes a complete collapse, forming a black hole.
No, the sun is a main sequence star, not a white dwarf. White dwarfs are the remnants of smaller stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel and collapsed. The sun will eventually evolve into a white dwarf in about 5 billion years.
A neutron star is the remnant of a star, which - at the end of its life, and AFTER possibly losing a lot of mass (for instance, in a supernova explosion) has a remaining mass that is greater than the so-called Chandrasekhar limit.

When a star dies, it can leave behind different types of stellar remnants depending on its mass. Some examples include white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. White dwarfs are formed from the remnants of low to medium mass stars, neutron stars are formed from the remnants of massive stars, and black holes are formed from the remnants of the most massive stars.
Remnants of low mass stars include white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes, depending on the mass of the original star. White dwarfs are remnants of stars similar in mass to our Sun, while neutron stars and black holes are remnants of more massive stars. These remnants are formed after the star exhausts its nuclear fuel and undergoes a supernova explosion.

A collapsed star after using up its fuel is called a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole, depending on its mass. White dwarfs are remnants of low to medium mass stars, neutron stars are remnants of massive stars, and black holes are formed when very massive stars collapse.
There are other "main sequence" stars smaller than the Sun, but the classes of much smaller stars are:white dwarf stars (once Sun-like but no longer support fusion)red dwarfs and orange dwarfs (small dim stars that have very long lives)"brown dwarfs" (oversized Jovian gas giants with little or no fusion)neutron stars (smaller than the Earth but immensely dense, remnants of massive stars that went supernova)
Neutron stars and white dwarfs are both remnants of dead stars, but neutron stars are much denser and have stronger gravitational forces compared to white dwarfs. Both objects are composed mostly of degenerate matter, but neutron stars are made up of neutrons while white dwarfs are made up of electrons.
Yes, as they begin to lose power stars can sometimes flare to be red giants, though most eventually collapse into neutron stars or white dwarfs.
White dwarfs are stellar remnants, so it a simplified form, they are dead stars.
There are two kinds of "dead" stars. One, called "brown dwarfs," even though they're actually dull red, are "dead" through not being able to fuse hydrogen into helium. They generate heat through their gravity, as Jupiter does. The other kind are the remnants of supernovae, which include white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. The first two of these aren't dead in the same sense as brown dwarfs, since they still radiate from fusion. Black holes and dead (except for gravity) because the matter at their hearts has become so compressed, it's been "pulled out of the universe" an occupies no space at all.
