Actually,initially liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen is used. The liquid hydrogen reacts, very violently, with oxygen and the reaction becomes exothermic which results in lots of thrust and release of water which further acts as cooling agent!
But, due to less availability of liquid hydrogen now hydrogen gas is used. Its exhaust velocity is maximum in all the chemicals and so it has been chosen and used in preference to other fuels.
