A flame is pure energy so it has no real chemical composition except from the chemical compositions of the oxygen and fuel (usually hydrocarbons) needed for it to burn. A flame requires fuel, oxygen and heat energy, although it gives off light and heat energy as well. The act of burning is reacting the fuel with oxygen in the air but the flame itself has no chemical composition.

What type of change is striking a match?

Striking a match is a physical change because it can be reversed by extinguishing the flame. The chemical composition of the match does not change during this process.


Spectral properties of a flame?

The spectral properties of a flame refer to the visible light emitted when a hydrocarbon fuel burns. The color of the flame can indicate the temperature and the presence of certain elements in the fuel. Spectral analysis of the light emitted from a flame can be used to identify the chemical composition of the burning material.


What is the most rare coloured flame?

The most rare colored flame is blue. Blue flames are typically seen in natural gas or alcohol fires, and are produced by the presence of carbon monoxide or hydrogen. Temperature and chemical composition can also affect flame color.


Is burning newspaper a physical change?

Yes, burning newspaper is a chemical change because it undergoes a chemical reaction (combustion) that changes its chemical composition. The heat and flame produced during burning are evidence of this chemical reaction taking place.

What is the diffence between physical and chemical properties as well an physical and chemical changes?

Physical properties can be observed without changing the chemical composition of a substance. Chemical properties can only be observed by changing the chemical composition of the substance. In a physical change, the chemical composition of the substance does not change. In a chemical change, the chemical composition of the substance changes.
