Oct 19, 2023 · The state of fire is plasma (mostly). Science cannot precisely describe the true nature of fire, but to clear up the doubts of inquisitive minds, fire is most similar to plasma! Plasma resembles a gas more than any other state of matter, but it behaves very differently from a gas.

What we know for sure is that fire is the visible effect of combustion – an exothermic chain reaction requiring the fire triangle: oxygen, heat and some type of fuel. Combustion resulting in fire can only occur between gases (liquid or solid fuels must first be vaporised for there to be a flame) and that gives us our first clue as to how to ...

The substance that has been dissolved is called the solute. A solution can also be called a mixture. When a solid dissolves, it breaks down into smaller particles that spread out through the...
Mar 5, 2013 · Simply defined, fire is a chemical reaction in a mixture of incandescent gases, typically luminous with intense heat. But candle flames, wood fires, and propane fires aren’t created equal. “What constitutes fire depends on the fuel being burned,” says Chen.
Is fire a solid, liquid or gas? - BBC Science Focus Magazine
Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material (the fuel) in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products. [1] [a] At a certain point in the combustion reaction, called the ignition point, flames are produced.
Fuels can be solids, liquids or gases. During the chemical reaction that produces fire, fuel is heated to such an extent that (if not already a gas) it releases gases from its surface. Only gases can react in combustion. Gases are made up of molecules (groups of atoms).
