What makes incomplete combustion more dangerous than complete combustion?

Incomplete combustion involves the generation of carbon monoxide in addition to carbon dioxide and water generated in complete combustion. Carbon monoxide is highly toxic. While carbon dioxide is produced by the body itself and can only kill if at a very high concentration (7% to 10% of air by volume) or by depriving the victim of oxygen for prolonged periods of time, carbon monoxide is not a physiological gas and can kill at low concentrations (0.32% of air by volume) and in a relatively short amount of time (less than 30 minutes). The toxicity of carbon monoxide is believed to be involved in compromising the ability of hemoglobin and myoglobin to transfer and store oxygen and disabling cellular respiration through blocking cytochrome oxidase.

How are the incomplete and complete combustion reactions different?
In complete combustion, all the reactants will be converted into carbon dioxide and water. In incomplete combustion, some of the reactants will be converted to carbon dioxide, some will become carbon monoxide, and some may not react at all. Quite often incomplete combustion will result in a "sooty" flame.
What is the color of flame produced by unsaturated hydrocarbons on complete combustion?
The unsaturated hydrocarbons are mor tangled up so it's harder for the oxygen to get in and break the bonds. Because of this some large sections of the hydrocarbon floats up before being broken, making the flame sooty.
Color of flame in a complete combustion of gas from Bunsen burner?
When the air hole is covered on the Bunsen Burner its oxygen supply is made smaller. This makes the flame turn YELLOW - This is considered to be the safety flame as it is the most visible to the eye and it radiates less heat. When the Bunsen burners air hole is fully open there is a super heated blue flame which is the product of complete combustion. Hope this helped :)

What is having an incomplete grammatical construction?
An incomplete grammatical construction is a series of words, phrases, or clauses that do not constitute a complete sentence. A complete sentence has a subject and a verb, and does not contain an introductory adverb, pronoun, or other word that makes it depend on a complete sentence to make sense. Some examples: Complete sentence: John hit me. Incomplete sentence: when John hit me...[This depends on a complete sentence to make sense.] Complete sentence: When John hit me, I hit him back. Complete sentence: Who is good? [The fact that it's a question makes it complete.] Incomplete sentence: who is good [The fact that it's not a question makes it depend on a complete sentence to make sense.] Complete sentence: A boy who is good will not go to the principle's office every so often. Other incomplete sentences: at at the bank feeling confused at the bank who is feeling confused at the bank because I was feeling confused at the bank Complete sentence: I left because I was feeling confused at the bank.

What makes an incomplete sentence into a complete sentence?
An incomplete sentence can become complete by ensuring it has a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought. This means that the sentence should convey a clear idea and be grammatically correct. Adding missing words or punctuation can also help turn an incomplete sentence into a complete one.
