How do you know when charcoal is ready?

Charcoal is ready for grilling when it is covered with gray ash and glowing red. You should also be able to hold your hand about 6 inches above the coals for 3-4 seconds before feeling an intense heat.


Why the charcoal burns without giving a flame?

What you call a flame is vaporized fuel oxidizing. Vaporizing pure carbon, which is what charcoal (theoretically) is requires temperatures higher than anything you're likely to achieve.


Does charcoal form a covalent bond?

Its kind of a trick question. Charcoal is not a chemical compound or a pure form of carbon. The main constituent is graphite, which is covalently bonded, with delocalised electrons in pi bonds that are easily excited by light, hence absorbing it, which makes it appear black


What happens to the color of the flame if you spray charcoal in the non luminous flame?

Sprinkling charcoal powder into a non-luminous flame will not change the color of the flame. The flame color is determined by the elements present in the fuel being burned, not by adding additional substances like charcoal.


If oxygen is exposed to a glowing ember will it explode?

It should not explode. With what would the oxygen combust? About 20% of the air is oxygen. Oxygen does not readily combine with itself. However, if you put a spark into a cup of liquid hydrogen, I bet it would react rather violently. And there is a YouTube video of a fellow igniting charcoal with liquid oxygen. The oxygen does not explode, but the fire burns the charcoal really well. And the barbecue. And eventually the ground below the grill.

An object appears charcoal when it has absorbed most of the incident light and reflects very little back to our eyes. This lack of reflected light makes the object appear dark and nearly black in color.
