Because hydrogen would rather be part of water than part of a hydrocarbon, and carbon would rather be part of carbon dioxide than part of a hydrocarbon. When given sufficient opportunity (enough oxygen to completely react with the molecules in the hydrocarbon, and enough heat to initiate the reaction), the reaction converting the hydrocarbon into (CO2)x + (H2O)x (the x meaning without knowing the hydrocarbon in question we don't know how many CO2 and H2O molecules we'll get) will happen.

Is americium combustible?
Americium is not combustible.
Are wet leaves combustible in paper bag?
Yes if the leaves where damp but if they were wetter that that the would not be combustible. Combustible means something that can burn easy so dry leaves are combustible because they burn easily.
Is tungsten combustible?
It is not combustible like some materials, but it can catch afire which is why many shops have separate shop vacs for titanium dust/chips.
Where do hydrocarbons end up?
Hydrocarbons end up in the atmosphere when they are burnt
Which of the following is NOT a health hazard?

What two forces formed coal?
Coal is a combustible sedimentary rock, composed mostly of carbon and hydrocarbons.
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
Coal is considered a rock even though it consists of?
It consists of combustible black sedimentary rock composed of carbon and hydrocarbons.
What is the chemical formula of heating gas?
Assuming by heating gas you mean "natural" gas, the the formula would be CH4 which is methane. Natural gas is mostly methane with some other combustible hydrocarbons added in.
Is UPVC combustible?
Yes, it is combustible.
Is coke combustible?
coke is combustible
Is americium combustible?

Fuel that can be used instead of fossil fuel :BiodieselBioAlcoholBattery as fuel (electric fuel cells)HydrogenArtificially produced combustible hydrocarbons [methane, butane,etc]Compressed Air
Is stucco combustible?
stucco is non-combustible
Is uramium combustible?
Any element is combustible we will find Uranium oxide on the earth. i.e uranium is combustible
Is plasma combustible?
No, plasma is not combustible. Plasma is not something that can be combustible without additional chemicals, as it is relatively cool.
