The correct statement is:
Some of the atoms in the paper became gases.
When paper is burned, it undergoes a chemical reaction that produces ash, gases, and other products. Some of the original atoms from the paper are converted into gases (such as carbon dioxide and water vapor) and released into the air, which accounts for the reduction in mass.
