Stars a giant balls of gas mainly hydrogen and helium. inside a star there are such temperatures that hydrogen fusion occurs making helium and when the star runs outta hydrogen it gets hotter and helium fusion occurs then carbon fusion etc etc. so ultimately it depends on the age of the star.
The most massive type of main sequence star on the HR diagram would be indicated by the main sequence area at the top left of the HR diagram, which would be blue or violet in color. Zeta Puppis is an example of such a star. It comes in at 40 solar masses. It is classified as a type "O" star.
In nearly all stars, hydrogenis the most abundant element and it is consumed in a nuclear reaction that power stars.
The most common element in a young star is hydrogen. During the star formation process, vast amounts of hydrogen gas collapse under gravity to form a new star. This hydrogen fuel is what powers nuclear fusion reactions in the star's core, creating energy and sustaining the star's brightness.
The final core element for a massive star is iron. When a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel, iron builds up in its core due to fusion reactions. Iron cannot undergo further fusion to release energy, leading to a collapse and subsequent supernova explosion.
Main sequence star: hydrogen-1. Red giants: helium-4.

A neutron star is already the remains of a massive star that has run out of fuel.
Neutron stars do not have fuel. A neutron star is a remnant of a star that has already died.
The energy in stars comes from nuclear fusion. Hydrogen atoms are continually fused together to created helium and with it, massive amounts of energy.
By the star's spectrum.
A star dies when it runs out of fuel to sustain nuclear fusion in its core. This fuel is mainly hydrogen, which gets converted into helium through nuclear fusion. Once the star runs out of hydrogen, it will expand and eventually collapse, leading to its death in a supernova explosion.
