NO it does not. Oxygen is one of the 3 elements required to make fire, the others are heat and fuel, Oxygen on it's own will not burn but add the other two elements and you have fire.

- Burning is a chemical reaction where Oxygen (O) is combined with the fuel. O will not burn, because you cannot combine O with O.
No. Without getting into a complicated chemistry lesson, there are fuels and oxidizers. A fuel cannot burn without an oxidizer, so it helps in the burning process, but alone neither oxygen nor a fuel can burn.
Oxygen doesn't actually get 'burnt', per se; it's merely the vehicle for burning something else. If you had a room that was 100% full of oxygen and you lit a match in it, nothing would happen, because there's no fuel to burn. Oxygen is just necessary to take part in the reaction of 'combustion'. When methane burns for instance, we get the following equation:
CH4 + 3O2 -> 2H2O + CO2
or, methane plus oxygen burns to form water and carbon dioxide. All materials that burn have a similar formula to the above, usually having water, carbon dioxide and other materials as the product of combustion. In short, without fuel, there is nothing to burn, but without oxygen, there's nothing to react with the fuel to make it burn. Hope this helps ;)
From Dr Octavian.
No, oxygen supports combustion of other materials.
Fire is the rapid combination of flammable materials with oxygen. When the two materials combine, heat is released.
Take a chemistry class to learn more about oxidization of materials and how oxygen is involved in the process.
Oxygen does not burn. It supports the combustion of flammable substances.
You can't burn oxygen in any conventional sense - conventionally burning means oxidation.
YES,,,,,,,,,,,,,,oxygen is one of the main part
HOPE THIS HELPYOU :]
Burning would be impossible without oxygen. When a substance burns, it combines with oxygen. This process releases energy.
Oxygen is transformed in an oxyde.
Combustion is organic materials reaction to burning in the presence of oxygen. It is the process of conversion to the carbon cycle.
trees play an important role in maintaining the level of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Helps break it down into oxygen
Oxygen is part of the mixture of gases we breath. Therefore, burning wood uses the oxygen in the atmosphere.
Burning is combustion, which is an oxidation reaction that requires oxygen. Therefore oxygen promotes burning, as it is a reactant in the reaction, and higher concentrations of a reactant will result in a faster rate of reaction (collision theory).
Oxygen is the oxydant in the reaction of burning.
Oxygen supports burning
He discovered that oxygen is present in the burning of matter.
A big role
they produce oxygen in the oceans
Lavoisier discovered that burning is impossible without oxyge.
it gives you energy from oxygen.
they produce oxygen in the oceans
buring fossil fuels contributes to gloadl warming, and acidic lakes due to acid rain, from the burning in oxygen. it also uses resources
Antoine Laurent Lavoisier was:- a promoter of the law of mass conservation- contributor to the discovery of oxygen and hydrogen- discoverer of the role of oxygen in burning- fighter against the ridiculous phlogiston theory- promoter of scientific chemical nomenclature- promoter of the metric system- author of books- etc.

the role of the heart is to supply the working muscle with oxygen and energy
