Hydrogen is a colorless gas that burns with oxygen. If substances will burn in air, those same substance will burn better in oxygen.
Often it's an oxide. For example, carbon burns in air to form its oxides, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. However, there are other possibilities. Hydrogen burns in oxygen to produce water.
oxygen
When paper burns in a fire, the reactants are mostly carbon (the main substance in the paper) and oxygen(from the air).
Yes. Any "burning" process is called combustion or "oxidation" as every substance burns only in the presence of oxygen and as oxygen is being "added" i.e., it is on the reactant side, it is termed as oxidation.
Oxygen is the gas most commonly associated with burning.

A combustible substance will burn easily when on fire, A flammable substance can easily catch fire.
Often it's an oxide. For example, carbon burns in air to form its oxides, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. However, there are other possibilities. Hydrogen burns in oxygen to produce water.
Combustion is the process of rapid oxidation of a substance i.e. its rapid reaction with oxygen. This whole process is called burning. So, it can be said that the substance burns in combustion.
oxygen
When Oxygen is added to a substance it is called oxidation.
When paper burns in a fire, the reactants are mostly carbon (the main substance in the paper) and oxygen(from the air).
Yes. Any "burning" process is called combustion or "oxidation" as every substance burns only in the presence of oxygen and as oxygen is being "added" i.e., it is on the reactant side, it is termed as oxidation.
When sulfur burns it reacts with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide, which is an entirely different substance from sulfur or oxygen.
The substance that help the blood carry oxygen is called hemoglobin.
