PS Q3W1 Formation & Synthesis of Heavy Elements

What is the process by which stars release energy to counteract the effects of gravity?

What is the name of the event that occurs when the core of a high-mass star collapses and triggers an explosion, ejecting heavy nuclei into space?

What is the name of the object that is left behind when the core of a high-mass star collapses into a single point of infinite density?

What is the name of the process by which a star forms from a gas cloud and begins to use up its fuel?

What is the name of the phase when a star has almost all of its helium fused into larger nuclei like carbon, and then oxygen?

What is the name of the event that occurs when the core of a star is above around 1.4 and 3 solar masses and collapses with such tremendous force that all the electrons get squeezed into protons?

What is the name of the phase when a star has almost all of its hydrogen burned into helium and maintains a relatively steady size, temperature, and luminosity?

What is the name of the object that is left behind when the core of a star is above around 3 solar masses and collapses into a single point of infinite density?
