Combustion plays a very important role in the day-to-day life of human beings. The chemical process in which a substance reacts with oxygen to give off heat is called combustion. The original substance of the chemical reaction is called fuel and the source of oxygen in the reaction is called oxidizer. There are three types of combustion rapid combustion, spontaneous combustion, and explosion combustion. So take this quiz and know more about combustion and flames.
