In a chemical process, the molecules rearrange themselves. Energy is either released or absorbed. The process in a fire is called oxidation, where oxygen atoms combine with hydrogen and carbon to form waterand carbon dioxide. Oxidation is the same chemical process that turns iron into rust.

How are hydrogen molecules different to the water molecules?
One big difference: Hydrogen are an extremely explosive gas molecules (H2), while water is a fire extinguishing fluid (H2O).
Why does ice still melt in water?
Fire is pure energy being released. And it takes energy to move molecules around. Where ice is concerned, the water molecule has been sapped of all energy which causes it to remain in place and stick to other water molecules.. When the energy from fire comes in contact with the water molecule, the molecule absorbs the energy which causes the molecules to break away from each other and move. When the molecules break away and move is what causes a solid like ice to become a liquid.
What food molecules is easily absorbed?
Vitamin C molecules, water molecules and glucose molecules are very easily absorbed because they don't have as many particles as starch molecules, protein molecules and fat molecules.
What molecules would you expect to dissolve in water polar covalent molecules inoic molecules nonpolar convalent molecules?
ionic molecules dissolve the most. but some polar covalent molecules also do dissolve in water.
Which of the molecules are diatomic molecules in ethyl alcohol?
Oxygen and hydrogen have diatomic molecules.
What is convection heating from a campfire?
The simplest answer is: the fire adds heat energy to the air molecules near it. The higher energy molecules start bouncing around faster. When these molecules move away from the fire, they carry the energy (heat) with them.
What removes air out a room during a fire?
the reaction that makes fire is fueled by oxygen therefore as the fire burns the oxygen molecules are consumed
How are hydrogen molecules different to the water molecules?
One big difference: Hydrogen are an extremely explosive gas molecules (H2), while water is a fire extinguishing fluid (H2O).
What makes crackle noise in wood fire?
The water molecules evaporating in the wood.
What happens to the molecules of fire when you put the fire out?
Fire it self is just light, heat, and sound energy produced when you burn a flamable material (Combine it with oxegen), there is no such thing as a "fire molecule". When you put out a fire all you do is remove the energy, oxygen, or fuel that is required to sustain the chemical reaction. Basicaly, nothing happens to the 'fire molecules' because they don't exist in the first place, fire is just energy from a chemical reaction. When you put out a fire you are just stoping the reaction that makes this energy.
Why is the air above a fire blurry?
the molecules are so hot they move faster and it makes it blurry.
Does fire burn everything?
Anything that can be oxidized will burn. If the fire is hot enough it will ionize atoms and molecules then EVERYTHING will be affected even stuff that usually does not "burn" (oxidize).
What type of fire is on the Sun?
There wouldn't be fire on the sun. Fire is a chemical reaction of fuel combining with an oxidizer into new molecules. However, the sun is all plasma - no molecules at all. It's too hot for fire. The Sun is almost entirely made of plasma (i.e., over 99%) both by mass and by volume. On earth, we encounter plasma in lightning, and also in a few other situations where temperatures are extremely high.
Is water required for the movement of water molecules?
No, it requires fire. Come on, obviously you need water to do anything involving water.
A toy boat is floating in a large metal bucket If you build a fire under the bucket how the heat will transfer from the fire to the boat?
Water molecules will transfer heat as they move from the lower part of the bucket to the boat.
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.
What type of energy comes from fire?
It's Heat and Light Energy. If you apply fire to something it can cause Kinetic Energy as well. i.e. bouncing molecules.
