Question
Give scientific reasons : Burning substances (fuels) burn with or without a flame.

Answer

  • When the gaseous substances are heated, a luminous flame is seen and they start to glow.
  • Some liquid and solid fuels burn with a flame because on heating, their atoms easily get converted into vapours; and burn with a luminous flame starting with glow.
  • When volatile substances present in this type of fuel vapourises, then the fuel just glows red and gives out heat without flame.
