We should not burn fossil fuels.
Combustion is the term given to burning a fuel, very often fossil fuels.
Burning fossil fuels results in the combustion of hydrocarbons, releasing carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The general chemical equation for burning a hydrocarbon fuel is hydrocarbon + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy.
No. Petrol is cleaner than coal, but it is not the cleanest. Natural gas (methane (CH4)) is the cleanest burning fuel, emitting the smallest amount of carbon dioxide of all the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
The chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels can be represented by the general formula: ( \text{hydrocarbon (fuel)} + \text{oxygen} \rightarrow \text{carbon dioxide} + \text{water} + \text{heat} ). This represents the combustion reaction where hydrocarbons in fossil fuels react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat energy.
The answer that belongs in the blank space is "oxygen." The chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels is typically written as: Fossil fuel + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + heat.

Wood is a fuel as it can provide energy by burning. But, it is not formed by fossils and hence not called a fossil fuel.
Natual gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel.
Pollution.

Natural gas (methane (CH4)) is the cleanest burning fuel, emitting the smallest amount of carbon dioxide of all the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
That is the byproduct from burning fossil fuel.
it destroys habitats
In no way at all is burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) helpful to wildlife.
No. Petrol is cleaner than coal, but it is not the cleanest. Natural gas (methane (CH4)) is the cleanest burning fuel, emitting the smallest amount of carbon dioxide of all the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
People are burning fossil fuel quicker than it's naturally made
No, the cleanest is Natural gas. Natural gas (methane (CH4)) is the cleanest burning fuel, emitting the smallest amount of carbon dioxide of all the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
