Typically oxides of the element(s) in what is being burned.
For example if methane (CH4) is burned in air carbon dioxide and water are formed.
For a few, highly reactive metals such as magnesium or lithium the nitride of the element can form.

∙ 13y agoAll organic materials (organic; plants, animals, ...) are consisted of one basic element: carbon
When carbon is burned in an oxygen- rich environment the following reaction takes place:
C (carbon often bonded to H (hydrogen)) + O2 (oxigen) -> CO2 (carbon dioxide) (+ H20 (water))
When there is a lack of oxigen, CO (carbon monoxide; toxic) or C (a.k.a. soot) is made

What is the product formed when Oxygen burns in air?
Oxygen can not burn in air.
Why is it that oxygen helps burning?
Combustion (or burning) is the reaction between a fuel and any oxidant. So by definition burning requires oxygem, As to why oxygen supports burning because it is very reactive and when any when any chemical is oxidiesed it is an exothermic reaction
Hydrogen gas plus oxygen gas?
Nothing, but if they are allow to burn water vapours are formed with explosion.
Will fire burn with out oxygen and how?
Under normal circumstances, no. However, in some cases a different oxidizer may be used in place of oxygen. Substances such as fluorine and potassium nitrate can oxidize materials just as well s elemental oxygen can. Some highly reactive metals such as magnesium and lithium can "steal" oxygen from water or carbon dioxide.
Can a foil burn?
yes it will because it can burn through the kitchen foil!!!
Is chloride flammable?
Chloride itself is not a substance. It is the ion formed by the element chlorine. Chlorine can react with oxygen but in most of its reactions it does not burn but rather causes other substances to "burn" much in the manner that oxygen does.
A materials ability to burn in the presence of oxygen?
A material's ability to burn in the presence of oxygen is called flammability.
Which gas in the air is one of the reactants when substances burn?
Oxygen.
What happens when substances burn in air?
Oxygen is used up.
What is the product formed when Oxygen burns in air?
Oxygen can not burn in air.
Does oxygen burn even faster than paper?
No. Oxygen is not flammable. Rather, it is what allows flammable materials to burn.
Does sodium nitrate burn in an oxygen free atmosphere?
Sodium nitrate itself does not burn. It is an oxidizer. It can be used in place of oxygen to burn materials.
What colorless gas burns with oxygen?
Hydrogen is a colorless gas that burns with oxygen. If substances will burn in air, those same substance will burn better in oxygen.
Did chlorine can burn without oxygen?
Burning of all materials involve oxygen.
What substances burn faster in oxygen?
Any substance that burns in air is likely to burn faster in pure oxygen, if all other conditions are equal.
What is the term for a materials ability to burn in the presence of oxygen?
Flammability
