Is fire classified as matter?

The heat and light from fire is energy. The smoke from fire contains particles of water, gases, and the materials being burned that are matter. The flame is made up of gases like vaporized fuel, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor and other gases. All these are matter - occupying space and have mass.


Is fire from a light matter?

Fire is matter. It consists of a mixture of hot gasses, plasma, and soot.


What happens to energy when matter undergoes chemical or physical change?

Energy can either be soaked up by the matter in the process of making the change (melting), or be released from the matter during the change (fire).


Is fire antimatter?

No it is not. Fire is a chemical reaction involving matter (molecules). You could have and anti-matter fire however. It would be hot just like regular fire but not as hot if you mixed the anti-matter and matter fuel. The mutual annihilation would release a lot of energy in accordance with E=MC².


When you recycle what type of energy is it?

Energy is stored in all matter- potential in nature. On conversion matter will change it's state or convert to another form of matter. In the process energy is absorbed by it or released from it. Fire wood, when it burns, absorbs oxygen from atmosphere and carbon combines with oxygen releasing heat energy in the process.


What is photoelectric effect?

The photoelectric effect is a phenomenom that occurs when you fire a photon with high enough energy aggainst matter, and it expells an electron after absorbing the photon's energy.


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.


How a change in thermal energy causes matter?

A burning wood fire, when cooled down or extinguished, leaves wood ashes.


Is energy a element compound or a mixture?

None of these. It is energy. It is not matter. But according to the law of relativity, energy can be converted into matter.


Is fire an ionization energy?

No fire is not an ionization energy


Is fire exothermic?

This is an incomplete question. You mean to say, "Is fire an exothermic reaction?". Even when the question is phrased this way, it still doesn't make sense. Fire is a product of a reaction, meaning energy (in form of heat) is produced. If fire is being produced, then the reaction that caused the release of heat is the exothermic reaction, not the fire.


Is energy for sure matter?

Yes energy is matter.
