    Combustion

    A chemical process where a substance reacts quickly with oxygen (O2) to produce heat and light.

    Combustible

    A substance that undergoes combustion; it burns in the presence of oxygen.

    Incomplete Combustion

    A chemical reaction where there is not enough oxygen present for the fuel to burn completely. This results in the production of carbon monoxide (CO) and soot (unburnt carbon).

    Complete Combustion

    A reaction where a substance reacts completely with oxygen, producing heat and light. All of the fuel is converted to products like carbon dioxide and water.
