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.

Does oxygen burn even faster than paper?

Yes, oxygen itself does not burn but it feeds the combustion of other materials, like paper, making fires burn more intensely. Oxygen speeds up the chemical reactions involved in fire, causing materials such as paper to burn faster in its presence.

Did chlorine can burn without oxygen?

No, chlorine gas itself does not burn without oxygen present. Burning refers to a chemical reaction with oxygen to produce heat and light. Chlorine can react with other substances in a way that resembles burning, such as when it combines with certain metals to form metal chlorides, but this is not combustion in the traditional sense.
