Oxygen is not flammable; but because oxygen is an oxidizing agent burning is not possible without oxygen.

What is the term for a materials ability to burn in the presence of oxygen?

Flammability


What happens to flammability as molecular size increases?

As molecular size increases, flammability tends to decrease. This is because larger molecules have a lower surface area-to-volume ratio, which makes it harder for oxygen to reach the interior of the molecule, inhibiting combustion. Additionally, larger molecules often contain more non-flammable components than smaller molecules.

How many molecules of oxygen are needed to burn one molecule of fuel?

That depends on the fuel. Natural gas, methane, needs 2 molecules of oxygen, but gasoline, octane, needs 17 molecules of oxygen.


What is a material's ability to burn in the presence of oxygen?

What causes flammability to increase or decrease?

Flammability increases with factors like increased oxygen levels, presence of flammable materials, or higher temperatures. Flammability may decrease with factors like the presence of fire retardants, lack of oxygen, or lower temperatures.

Is flammability a physical properity?

Flammability is a chemical property because the matter undergoes a chemical change (change in the make-up molecules) when it is burned.
