ShareCombustion or burning is a complex sequence of chemical reactions between a fuel and an oxidant accompanied by the production of heat or both heat and light in the form of either a glow or flames.
Rapid combustion is a form of combustion in which large amounts of heat and light energy are released.
This often occurs as a fire.
This is used in a form of machinery, such as internal combustion engines, and in thermobaric weapons.
Combustion is double replacement, on the other hand a chemical reaction is single replacement.
Slow combustion is a form of combustion which takes place at low temperatures.
Respiration is an example of slow combustion.
