Combustion

Combustion

What is it?

Combustion means burning. A combustion reaction gives off light and heat.

Give me an example!

Without combustion, there wouldn't be automobiles! The standard gasoline-powered automobile engine is called an internal combustion engine. Have you ever noticed how an automobile engine gets hot after it runs for a while? That's heat produced by combustion of the liquid fuel (gasoline).
