This type of compound is called exothermic, or thermogenic. This is actually quite a long list. The simplest are the alkanes, also called hydrocarbons they include methane, ethane, propane, butane and octane. Add oxygen to get carbohydrates, and the important groups are the sugars. Lipids (fatty acids) are also flammable, such as wax in candles and oil lamps.
