well the sun will slowley expand to as much as it could reach earths atomsphere and explode. But hopefully by the next couple of billion years we will have found life on other planets and solar systems.
The sun is ferociously converting 600,000 tons of Hydrogen into Helium every second, so after billions of years the star gets has less Hydrogen and more Helium.
the hydrogen and helium in the sun will continue to thermonuclear fuse until they end up creating lead, collapsing in on itself because of its immense mass.
Hydrogen and helium. Mostly hydrogen.
Helium gas, and trace amounts of Oxygen and Nitrogen.
hydrogen (74%), helium (25%) and the last remaining (1%) is made up of small amounts of various elements.

hydrogen will increase and helium will decrease.

The sun generates energy by fusing hydrogen into helium. Eventually it will run out of hydrogen. However, this won't happen for several billion years.
Nothing will happen. Helium is completely nonreactive.
(H) Hydrogen makes up the majority of the Sun and Jupiter with small amounts of He (Helium)
About 70% hydrogen, 28% helium, and the remainder is "trace" amounts of every other element. We believe that the universe was originally mostly hydrogen, with a little helium and a trace of lithium. Over the course of about 10 billion years, generations of stars formed from the hydrogen, fused the hydrogen into helium, and then blew themselves apart in titanic supernova explosions that created, in the instant of the explosion, every element heavier than lithium. Our solar system formed about 4.5 billion years ago, born from the hydrogen gas from space and the dust and debris from every star that lived and died before then.

The Sun is powered by nuclear fusion which requires extremely high temperatures to happen. Hydrogen is fused into helium releasing incredible amounts of energy which is counteracted by gravity.
Our Sun is about 5 billion years old. In another 5 billion years, we expect the Sun to expand into a red giant star as the hydrogen in the core becomes exhausted and the Sun begins to fuse helium. Helium fusion generates more energy than hydrogen fusion, which will cause the Sun to expand.
