About 2 Hydrogen for every Helium
About the cube root of the amount of helium atoms = amount of carbon*
About the cube root of the amount of carbon atoms = amount of iron*
*If the star is a super giant

Hmm. gases burning. I think our sun is mostly hydrogen and helium in a massive chemical reaction. When the gas runs out te star / sun will die

Mostly hydrogen. Our sun, also a star, is a caldron of hydrogen reactions. There are neutron stars, though.
