Stars that have a mass greater than the 1.4 solar masses or the Chandrasekhar limit will not become white dwarfs.
What is Chandrasekhar limit?
The Chandrasekhar limit is the maximum mass that a stable white dwarf star can have. It was noted by E.C. Stoner and Willhelm Anderson in their works, and they gave it the name Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar in honour of the Indian astronomer who made important, independent findings for enhancing calculation accuracy.
The limit was first disregarded by the scientific community since it would have supported the existence of black holes (technically unrealistic at this turn-off time). The white dwarf stars resist the gravitational collapse of the black hole due to the pressure of electron degeneration.
The Chandrasekhar limit is established at a mass where the gravitational field's self-attraction cannot be balanced by the pressure from electron decay. The limit that has been established these days is 1.39 solar mass.
Hence, Stars that have a mass greater than the 1.39 solar masses or the Chandrasekhar limit will not become white dwarfs.
