What state of matter is fire? a gas, solid, or liquid?

Question

I need to no for a sicnce project.

Answer 1

Fire is, in most cases a gas. Most fire is caused by combustion. There are a few chemical reactions that cause fire to become so charged that the gas becomes plasma, though.

A typical combustion fire puts out energy that heats up the surrounding gas causing it to glow. It is this glow that our eyes see as fire. Fire points up, in a sense, because the heated gas is less dense and rises. If it were anything else, such as a liquid or gas, it would sink since they are both more dense that air.

Answer 2

Fire is a chemical reaction between a fuel and oxygen that releases energy. Oxygen is normally a gas and so is the resulting compound that is created (normally CO2). The fuel can be many things. Wood is solid, the wax on a burning candle is liquid, and hydrogen is a gas.

Answer 3

Fire is a form of energy, it can transform a solid into a gas or even a liquid into a gas.

Answer 4

Neither. Fire is a plasma. Plasma (if you don't already know this) is the fourth state of matter. It is caused from very active molecules. I know there is a supercool plasma and a superhot plasma. I don't know what fire is, but there's some physics for you. Well, hope this helps.

Answer 5

Usually matters occupies a space. Fire does. But is it a gas, solid or liquid? My guess would be gas category.

Answer 6

Fire is plasma, the forth state of matter, and the most common state of matter we can see in the universe.

Answer 7

the CLOSEST answer but a inaccurate one would be gas.
things that are burning are being converted to a gas which is burning but the fire it'self is a transformation of the gas to a higher energy state (Heat) but fire is not a state of matter at all.

Answer 8

i could say, although i'm not a technological expertise guy, that it somewhat is none of those. it somewhat is the manufactured from a chemical reaction. some would say it somewhat is gasoline, or gases, yet i don't think of this could be authentic. If it have been, it may mean that sunlight hours is a gasoline, or gases, while it somewhat is the manufactured from the burning of gases on the sunlight. not lots help in line with risk even inspite of the shown fact that it variety of feels logical to me.

Answer 9

Fire is not a state of matter!

Answer 10

Typical flames are just incandescent (glowing) gas. Most flames are *not* plasmas, as they are not hot enough to be sufficiently ionized (stripped of electrons).
