Rubber is a polymer composed mainly of carbon and hydrogen atoms, making it highly flammable. When heated to high temperatures, the chemical bonds in rubber break down, releasing energy in the form of heat and light, which causes it to burn. The combustion process involves the reaction of rubber with oxygen in the air, producing carbon dioxide and water vapor as byproducts.
