The mass of the remaining core of a star that has exploded as a supernova. (Although some stars can collapse directly to a black hole without a supernova explosion)

If the mass exceeds about 3 to 4 solar masses the degeneracy pressure of neutrons is insufficient to stop the collapse, and the object will inevitably collapse into a black hole.

Will the sun end its life as a black hole?

No. Only the most massive stars form black holes. When the sun dies it will form a white dwarf.


What factor determines if a neutron star forms or a black hole forms after a supernova explosion?

The factor that determines whether a neutron star or a black hole forms after a supernova explosion is the mass of the collapsing core of the star. If the core's mass is between about 1.4 and 3 times the mass of the sun, a neutron star is formed. If the core's mass exceeds about 3 solar masses, a black hole is likely to form.


What subatomic particle determines how element will bond to form new substance?

The subatomic particle that primarily determines how an element will bond to form new substances is the electron, specifically the valence electrons. These are the outermost electrons in an atom and are involved in chemical bonding, allowing atoms to share, lose, or gain electrons to achieve stability. The arrangement of these valence electrons influences the type of bonds an element can form, whether ionic, covalent, or metallic.


What determines whether energy will be released or absorbed during a chemical reaction?

The difference in energy between the products and reactants of a chemical reaction determines if energy will be released or absorbed. If the products have lower energy than the reactants, energy will be released in the form of heat or light. If the products have higher energy, then energy will be absorbed.


Can it snow if it is 25 Fahrenheit?

Yes, it can snow at 25 degrees Fahrenheit as long as there is enough moisture in the air for snow to form and fall to the ground. Temperature is just one factor that determines whether precipitation will be snow or rain.

Are avatars a tradition or just a myth?

An avatar is a god in human form. This is not a tradition. Whether you believe in the existence of a god or gods, and whether you believe that gods can take human form determines whether this is a myth or a reality for you.

Do black holes just happen?

No. Most black holes form when an extremely massive star dies and the core collapses, becoming a black hole.

What makes a hypothesis able to be tested?

A hypothesis is a question or a statement that you must prove or disprove through an experiment. Whether or not something can be tested by an experiment determines whether or not you can form a hypothesis.


Do black Holes form every 50 years?

No, they form whenever a star dies, which can happen from two seconds after another black hole forms, or it could be 100 years before the next one forms. Point: They form at random. Answer: Contrary to the previous answer black holes do not form every time a star dies. For the formation of a black hole the star needs to be large (in terms of stars as a whole - our own Sun is too small to become a Black Hole).


Why does the sun's energy form a black hole?

The sun's energy has not formed a black hole.


What determines whether or not an atom will form bonds?

The number of electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom, known as valence electrons, determines its ability to form bonds. Atoms are more likely to form bonds if doing so allows them to achieve a stable electron configuration, such as a full outer energy level (octet rule). Factors like electronegativity and bonding preferences also influence whether an atom will form bonds.
