If you want to be really specific, you can have a flame using other things. For example, a jet of hydrogen will burn in an atmosphere of chlorine. You get hydrogen chloride then. But if you burn the hydrogen in oxygen you get water. These examples demonstrate that burning is a chemical reaction and a great many things will combine with oxygen and in many cases small particles of white/red hot material are given off. This is a flame.
What else can I help you with?
Does oxygen make something burn?
No it doesn't make something burn. But if something is already burning, it supports the burning. In the fire triangle, which is what makes a fire, it says that you need fuel, oxygen, and something else, that I tend to forget. So, technically, oxygen does make something burn, because you need that oxygen to help it and if you don't have that then it won't burn. So, I say yes, it does.
What three things are needed to make something burn?
To make something burn, you need fuel (such as paper or wood), oxygen (from the air), and heat (a source of ignition like a match or a spark). These three components make up the fire triangle, and without any one of them, combustion cannot occur.
What element is needed for most living things and is needed to make most fuels burn?
That is the element, "Oxygen".
What are needed for a fire to burn?
The three things needed to make a fire burn, what is called the Fire Triangle, are 1] oxygen 2] heat 3] fuel
Does pure oxygen make things burn faster?
In general, no, it accelerates / increases fires. If the fire is based on methane, say, and the oxygen displaces all the methane, then the fire will go out. If the oxygen is passed through / across the fire at something approaching supersonic speed, if the fire doesn't go out, it *will* go somewhere else.
What gas do you need to make things burn?
Oxygen. Fuels need that to burn.
How can you make oxide?
Burn the element in oxygen and you get the oxide
What is needed to make wood burn and what is released?
Wood needs heat, oxygen, and a fuel source to burn. When wood burns, it releases carbon dioxide, water vapor, ash, and potentially other gases depending on its composition.
Is pure oxygen explosive?
No. Oxygen itself is not flammable, but it is necessary for fire. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and a flammable substance. Fire is possible on Earth because ordinary air is 21% oxygen. Pure oxygen is considered a fire hazard because higher concentrations of oxygen will make it easier for a fire to ignite and will allow it to burn hotter and faster than normal.
Has different properties than the elements that make it up?
Water. You can burn oxygen and you can burn hydrogen but you can't burn water.
Does oxygen make things burn brighter?
Oxygen is what makes things burn at all. The more oxygen there is, the brighter it can burn.
Would you burn on Jupiter?
No. Oxygen is not part of Jupiter's make-up.
