What is a flame. Explain it's constituents and how is it formed. Why is it formed?

Answer 1

flame is an ionized gas given off by an object heated to ignition. the volatile gasses combine with oxygen in the air, and convection currents cause the resulting combustibles to rise. as the ionized gasses rise they cool and the visible part of the flame emits increasingly longer wavelengths of light. so characteristically the flame is bluish at the base and becomes more reddish as it rises.

Answer 2

What kind of flame are you talking about?
If it is what you see from on top of a burner it is just a mixture of gasses.
In different cases it has different constituents for example the constituents of an oxy-acetelene flame are oxygen and acetelene.
If it a flame from a buring blocks of wood it is made up of carbon and many many other things
It is formed because the gases at that temperature tend to give out light rays which we commonly know as flame
AND IT IS NOT PLASMA

Answer 3

What is a flame?

As a candle burns, it gives off molecules in the form of gases. Those molecules are in a very excited state, causing a breakdown of the chemical bonds that bind them together. This releases energy which you see as both light and heat from the flame. In other words, the flame is simply a column of very excited gases.

Answer 4

Flame: Combustion of a gas
Consitutes: Gas, any gasous molecules that can combust at the temperature of that area will combust, and create 'flame'
How: When enough heat is applied, the gas combust with oxygen around to form new compounds, and this reaction is precieved as fire/flame

Answer 5

I once read that it is possible to view a flame as a form of life, as it meets the criteria of:
a) needs fuel (food) to survive
b) turns spent fuel (food) into waste
c) has the ability to reproduce
d) requires oxygen to live
e) grows when fed
f) eventually dies

Answer 6

flame is a plasma.that is that it is the fourth state of matter like lightning.
