what is fire made of?

Answer 1

Fire is a phenomenon of combustion manifested in intense heat and light in the form of a glow or flames. The word fire when used with an indefinite article is commonly used to describe either a fuel in a state of combustion (such as a campfire or a fire in a fireplace or kitchen stove) or an instance of violent, destructive and uncontrolled burning (such as a wildfire and fires in buildings and vehicles). Since its discovery by humans, fire has been considered one of the most powerful, and important elements in the progression of humankind.

Answer 2

The flames in a fire are composed of the gaseous components of the combusting material along with radicals (species containing an unpaired electron), ions (charged particals) and electrons, the presence of the ions and electrons allows us to call this a plasma. The light emitted is a result of the electrons falling back on to the positive ions and thereby releasing energy in the form of an electromagnetic photon.

Answer 3

fire is an exothermic (exothermic means give heat) chemical reaction between 2 substances, one called Fuel, and the other called the oxidant
for example; when wood is burning: wood is the fuel, and oxygen in air is the oxidant
the result of this chemical reaction is gases and ash plus a large amount of heat
the heat gives a temperature high enough to activate some of the gas molecules produced in the reaction, which will get back to ground state and emits visible light in this process
That's why we see the burning wood gives heat and light

Answer 4

Fuel + Oxygen + Heat Source = Fire

Answer 5

Well fire is made up when flint and steel and rubbed together at a fast speed causing it to make a spark and to make fire or a simpler way is to put wood togeter then put motor oil from liquid nitrogen the by blowing on it you would get oxygen on it and then it will make it grow

Answer 6

A flame is the chemical reaction between oxygen and hydrogen. Oil, coal, wood, natural gas, buffalo chips are all just differing forms of hydrocarbons, and hydrocarbons flammable element is hydrogen. The differing colors of flames have to do with the accompaning elements brought along with the fuel and the air.

The flame itself is only a shell: only where the air/fuel boundary surface exists. Within that shell is gasified fuel, along with whatever other gasified elements go along for the ride.

What you see and feel is the various wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation given off in the reaction.

Answer 7

fire is manifestation of ignition and prolonged burning of a fuel source. the glow is the radiant energy emitted from the burning of matter into another form of matter with heat and light radiation given off.

fire is good.

Answer 8

fire is a chemical reaction. physical fire is the result of heating to the combustion point anything that is combustible.
isn't that helpful?
I'm just guessing!

Answer 9

Fire is simply glowing gas and other combustion materials such as carbon particles. It is not plasma, as it is not hot enough to reach such high ionization as is required of plasma (an 'electrically neutral, highly ionized gas composed of ions, electrons, and neutral particles').

Answer 10

combustion is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of heat and light
