Electric baseboard heaters are not supposed to cause soot. However; dust settles on the elements. When the electricity is turned on, the dust will burn off. There will be a trace of soot from that dust.
If you think to black soot this is formed from tiny carbon particles.
The black deposit produced represents soot particles, heated to incandescence. It comes about when the combustion of air is insufficient.
The fuel in the Bunsen burner is a compound of carbon and hydrogen. The hydrogen combines with the oxygen in air to form water leaving the carbon behind as the black substance.

To stop the black residue from a baseboard heater, the wall around and near the heater should be cleaned as there are dust particles attached to the wall. This is called ghosting which fine particles of soot attach to the wall that is cooler than the temperature.

Soot is often produced when burning wood.
Soot is a noun. It is the black residue left behind by burning some substances.
The formation of black soot indicates that the combustion is not receiving enough oxygen and is incomplete. Black soot is made from mainly carbon.
I think you might be talking about soot. Soot is the leftover stuff from when wood or other materials are burnt.
Fire. Heat. Dust. Soot.
You still have some soot on the very tip of your nose.

Black soot can form on a funnel when there is incomplete combustion of fuel. This happens when the fuel does not have enough oxygen to fully burn, leading to the production of carbon particles. These carbon particles then adhere to the surface of the funnel, resulting in the formation of black soot.
