Fire is not a state of matter.Instead it is a chemical reaction called combustion If something burns combustion combines the burning matter with oxygen and produces intense heat.

Fire is neither liquid/solid/gas, instead, it is another form called PLASMA, the universe is made up of 99% of plasma, plasma is made up in extremely high temperatures like the sun and stars, scientists use this plasma theory to the big bang theory. plasma is only just a theory, but is one just like most other things scientists have concluded. until we can get inside the nucleus (also a theory) we cannot really prove anything.

Described by a change in state of matter solid liquid gas?
state of matter
What is the state of matter of something warm?
Heterogenous state: (thick) liquid with (undissolved, very fine) solid particles.
A compound that can be separated by electrolysis must be in which state of matter?
A compound that can be separated by electrolysis must be in the LIQUID state of matter.
Another word for state in science?
In science, another word for state may be phase. For instance a state of matter is also called a phase of matter.
Which state has state particles that are the closest together?
This is the solid state of matter.
What state has been experiencing wildfires?
The state of matter that fire is classified as is plasma.
Is fire a solid?
Fire is not a state of matter as the examples you gave. Fire is a reaction. It consumes matter, changing the solid to it's components of ash(solid), water vapor(gas), and heat.
Give the example for plasma state of matter on earth?
Plasma are gases heated up. Such as lightning, magma, core, northern lights, and fire. Actually Fire is an example of gas idiot.
Fire is which form of mater?
Fire, before you think differently, is a form of matter. Everything is. Fire itself is in the gas state. Some people think it is a solid, but in fact it does not have the substances that make it solid (or liquid for that matter).
How does the state of matter of wax in a candle change when the candle is lit an need an answer?
because the fire
Is fire a reaction or state of matter?
No, fire is not a state of matter. Instead it is a chemical reaction called combustion. If something burns, combustion combines the burning matter with oxygen and produces intense heat. http://site2.wikianswers.com/templates/icons/ql.gif); background-position: left top; background-repeat: no-repeat; height: 22px">Zacharyrod: To put it simply, fire is a mixture of varying gases, with oxygen as the key ingredient, at high temperatures due to the chemical reaction occuring. So therefore, fire's state of matter is a gas.---- http://site2.wikianswers.com/templates/icons/ql.gif); background-position: left top; background-repeat: no-repeat; height: 22px">* fire can be reaction or state of a matter because the chemical reaction called combustion is one of the reaction of the chemical's that combines that cause of burning.* sometimes fire is cause by state of matter because it cause is the gas so,it is a matter,matter and reaction is one.The chemical equation for complete combustion (unbalanced):(Hydrocarbon) + O2 >>>>>> CO2 + H2O== == == ==
What state does fire come under for example a solid liquid or a gas?
None, fire is not a substance thus can't be in a state of matter, fire (combustion) is the process in which a substance burn, release gas, and turn into a new substance.
What state of matter is a flame considered as?
A flame is not a substance like water or air. Rather, it is the result of heat and light energy so you can't really say what state of matter it is in. Think of it like this; asking what state of matter a flame is in would be like asking what state of matter light or heat are in. They are forms of energy, not substances.
Is solid the most important state of matter?
Solid really isn't the most important state of matter; all the states of matter are equal. For example the solid state of matter allows us to be well solid, liquid provides a form of matter useful to fish, oxygen in the form of gas allows us to breathe, and plasma in the sun or fire (fire is actually a plasma if you didn't know) keeps us warm and fuels photosynthesis. - Dave!

Is fire an example for plasma state matter?
It CAN be. Fire is a mixture of various hot gases, but if the flame is hot enough those gases will become ionized. When this happens, it changes state and becomes a plasma.
Is gel state of matter?
The normally accepted states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Or as the ancients said, earth, water, air and fire.
Is fire state of matter?
No, the flame itself contains a mixture of gas, plasma, and often small solid particles.
