We are currently learning about the bunsen burner and I don't know what are the different zones of flames and what they are. I tried seraching it in our Chemistry book but I found nothing about it inside the book.

this what you're lookin for?
Three zones, for example, are apparent in the Bunsen burner flame: an inner zone of unburned gas; a middle zone called the reduction zone or reducing flame, since there the supply of oxygen is deficient and the oxygen is therefore removed from an oxide placed in it; and an outer, or oxidizing, zone. The candle flame is extremely complex. Several zones can be observed: a nonluminous inner portion where the melted wax produces gases; a middle area where the gases are decomposed to hydrogen, which burns, and carbon, which is heated to incandescence; and an outer, hardly visible region in which combustion is complete (carbon dioxide and water being formed). Flames are colored by the introduction of various substances, a fact utilized in the flame test for the identification of certain metals

different zones? You mean temperatures perhaps? Depending on the color of the flame, you can tell its temperature. Maybe thats a zone.
