All stars fuse hydrogen into helium - the slight difference in atomic weight between 4 hydrogen atoms and one helium atom, is given off as radiation.
Yes, young stars burn Hydrogen and produce Helium. As they age, they often turn into red giants, and at that time they burn the Helium, making Oxygen and Carbon. Very large stars can even burn the Oxygen and Carbon, making even heaver elements, such as Iron.
All stars 'burn' hydrogen
No, red giants are generally older than main sequence stars, as red giants have no hydrogen left for fuel, and burn helium instead. where as Main Sequence stars burn hydrogen for fuel.
Stars primarily burn hydrogen gas through the process of nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium. This fusion process releases a tremendous amount of energy, which is what powers the star and allows it to emit light and heat.
Main-sequence stars; those are stars that are in a certain area in the H-R diagram. They are also the stars which burn (fuse) hydrogen-1, converting it into helium-4.
Young stars burn hydrogen (the lightest element), converting it into helium. Later they may convert helium into heavier elements.
Our star I can tell you more about, but Alas Until we can burn ourselves up in other stars (which are at least light years away at the closest) I can only tell you the Chemicals the sun uses. The sun is about 75% Hydrogen, and just about the rest is mostly Helium. Which there are so plentiful amounts that It can burn for a very long time, at least until there is no more fuel. O.o

helium does not burn, hydrogen will burn in air
Most stars, for most of their existence, fuse hydrogen into helium.

Hydrogen is the primary fuel that stars burn. A star fuses two hydrogen atoms together to form one helium atom. Energy is released during the process that we see as light and feel as heat.
Like all main sequence stars, a red dwarf is powered by the fusion of hydrogen into helium.
Hydrogen. It doesn't really burn though, because burning is an oxidation process. Hydrogen fuses to form helium, at least for stars in the main stage.
it is fusion of hydrogen into helium. (like our sun) if it is a red giant (the next stage of our suns life) it is burning helium into denser things.
