What are the properties?

No the precursor to a star is a nebula.

I don’t find your metaphors amusing or intelligent. So far I wouldn’t pay you a penny because you don’t do any research, just blurt out whatever is on your mind

What are those made out of?

So far you haven't said anything I needed to research beyond double checking the minimum stellar mass.

Hydrogen mostly.

 

And “cloud dust”…

that’s oddly insufficient

what is this cloud dust made out of? Any guess?

well it all determines how the star will die be it a supernovae a giant dwarf or a black hole!

 

Where did you read "cloud dust" because I've never heard the phrase.

everywhere a new star is formed. SAM

 

You read it where a star is formed? I meant what book or website.

 

Or how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

You'll have to provide evidence that anybody is convinced.

 

Wikipedia and whatever they peddle at ga tech.

 

I think the controversy stands to make that point clear.

 

Link please because I haven't seen that on any wiki page I've looked at.

 

It depends on whether it was a population I, II, or III that finally formed from the nebula.
When the universe was young, it was made almost entirely hydrogen and hydrogen with just 0.000001% being other light elements. The Stars that formed from these nebula formed Population III stars, which contained no metals. When these stars went supernova, they produced heavier elements. The only criteria needed for a star to go supernova is it having sufficient mass, the star requires no other elements to be present other than hydrogen for it to undergo fusion.
The the heavier elements made by these stars spread out and mix in with the hydrogen and helium already spread throughout space. Nebulae that form from this collection have a greater percentage of heavier elements and form Population II stars. But these stars are still relatively metal poor. These 2nd generation stars produce supernova ( again, only due to having sufficient mass) seeding the galaxy with even more heavier elements, So by the time the third generation stars (Population I stars) form the nebula are about 99% hydrogen and helium with the remaining 1% being heavier elements. Our own Sun is such a 3rd( or more) generation star. While it contains a higher metal content than the stars that went supernova in order to provide it with those heavier elements, it is below the mass threshold needed to ever go supernova. Again: The only factor that determines whether or not a star can go supernova is its initial mass.
