Only stars with above 8 to 10 solar masses can initiate carbon fusion in the core, the stars will continue to pass the neon, oxygen and silicon fusion, until there is only iron left in the core, since iron can no longer undergo nuclear fusion, the iron core will contract violently and become a neutron star, which releases an untold amount of energy that blows the outer shell off!
Stars below this solar limit are unable to initiate carbon fusion, and as a result, at the end of their lifetime, the carbon rich core will slowly contract into a white dwarf while their outer shell is going to be blown away gently and become a planetary nebula
White dwarfs can still become type la supernova if they acquire mass beyond the Chandrasekhar limit ( 1,38 solar masses ) by absorbing gas or merging with other white dwarfs
