organic material burns as it is carbon based. non-organis materials ccontain carbon, but because of the inter molecular structure between each compound is bonded differently it doesn't burn aswell.

∙ 12y agoA combustion reaction (burning) always results in H2O and CO2. This means that the material you're burning can only consist of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon, which is what makes up organic materials.

∙ 11y agoFirstly, it can be due to the organic compound being unsaturated or aromatic. These compounds have a higher Carbon-Hydrogen ratio and thus burn in sooty yellow flames.
Secondly, it can be due to incomplete combustion due to limited amounts of Oxygen. Pure Carbon may be produced in the form of soot and ash.

How can you define organic material from inorganic materials?
inorganic materials is non-biological materials. they are formed due to natural growth.
What are combustible organic materials?
'Organic' in chemistry means hydrocarbon. There are hundreds of combustible hydrocarbons. Nearly all organic molecules can burn in oxygen. Examples are: CH4 - methane C3H8 - propane C6H6 - benzene C8H18 - octane
Why does wood initially burn with a flame and later only grows without a flame?
In the first spep the majority of organic materials are burned.
Can you list 10 non combustible materials?
There are many non combustible materials....Almost everywhere, these are present. Everything will burn only if the burner is powerful. But, there are some unique things which may never seen with our naked eyes. With the help of Electron Microscope, you can directly see the things which may burn.
What is meant by organic impurities?
These are impurities as organic compounds in different materials.
Is food matter?
No, only non-organic materials are matter.
What type of burn is an acid burn?
An acid burn is a chemical burn; acids have free H+ ions that have a tenancy to attack and burn and sometimes dehydrate organic materials, such as your skin.
How do you write a sentence with incompletely?
Carbon monoxide is produced when organic materials burn incompletely.
How can you define organic material from inorganic materials?
inorganic materials is non-biological materials. they are formed due to natural growth.
What are some examples of non organic materials?
Anything that doesn't contain carbon, such as water.
What materials are used to make natural mattresses?
Natural or organic mattresses are usually made from non-toxic materials such as wool, latex foam, unbleached cotton, bamboo blend and organic cotton fabrics.
What melts at 50 Degrees Celsius?
Chocolate and whole lot of other organic materials as well as quite a few of non-organic
What are the benefits of using organic towels over artificial ones?
Organic towels are said to be made with organic materials. As far as non organic towels go there really isn't much of a difference in how they clean as opposed to organic towels.

What are the causes and effects of burn?
causes of burning non-biodegradable materials- It can makes our environment pollute. We must stop burning of non-biodegradable materials, such as plastics- it can make our environment polluted
How can non biodegradable materials be converted into energy?
Many non-biodegradable materials can be converted into energy by burning them. Most plastics will burn. Bear in mind however that many of them produce toxic fumes when burned. Some non-biodegradable materials have no good way to convert them into energy. Used tin cans are not biodegradable and don't burn. They are possible to recycle however.
