Fire is not a state of matter.Instead it is a chemical reaction called combustion If something burns combustion combines the burning matter with oxygen and produces intense heat.
Edited/improved by: Swordstoo
Fire is neither liquid/solid/gas, instead, it is another form called PLASMA, the universe is made up of 99% of plasma, plasma is made up in extremely high temperatures like the sun and stars, scientists use this plasma theory to the big bang theory. plasma is only just a theory, but is one just like most other things scientists have concluded. until we can get inside the nucleus (also a theory) we cannot really prove anything.
What else can I help you with?
Described by a change in state of matter solid liquid gas?
state of matter
What is the state of matter of something warm?
Heterogenous state: (thick) liquid with (undissolved, very fine) solid particles.
A compound that can be separated by electrolysis must be in which state of matter?
A compound that can be separated by electrolysis must be in the LIQUID state of matter.
Another word for state in science?
In science, another word for state may be phase. For instance a state of matter is also called a phase of matter.
Which state has state particles that are the closest together?
This is the solid state of matter.
Fire is which form of mater?
Fire, before you think differently, is a form of matter. Everything is. Fire itself is in the gas state. Some people think it is a solid, but in fact it does not have the substances that make it solid (or liquid for that matter).
Is fire a solid?
Fire is not a state of matter as the examples you gave. Fire is a reaction. It consumes matter, changing the solid to it's components of ash(solid), water vapor(gas), and heat.
Is fire a reaction or state of matter?
No, fire is not a state of matter. Instead it is a chemical reaction called combustion. If something burns, combustion combines the burning matter with oxygen and produces intense heat. http://site2.wikianswers.com/templates/icons/ql.gif); background-position: left top; background-repeat: no-repeat; height: 22px">Zacharyrod: To put it simply, fire is a mixture of varying gases, with oxygen as the key ingredient, at high temperatures due to the chemical reaction occuring. So therefore, fire's state of matter is a gas.---- http://site2.wikianswers.com/templates/icons/ql.gif); background-position: left top; background-repeat: no-repeat; height: 22px">* fire can be reaction or state of a matter because the chemical reaction called combustion is one of the reaction of the chemical's that combines that cause of burning.* sometimes fire is cause by state of matter because it cause is the gas so,it is a matter,matter and reaction is one.The chemical equation for complete combustion (unbalanced):(Hydrocarbon) + O2 >>>>>> CO2 + H2O== == == ==
What state does fire come under for example a solid liquid or a gas?
None, fire is not a substance thus can't be in a state of matter, fire (combustion) is the process in which a substance burn, release gas, and turn into a new substance.
Is fire a plasma?
No, fire is not a plasma. Fire is a chemical reaction that produces heat and light, while plasma is a state of matter where atoms are ionized and have free-moving electrons.
Is solid the most important state of matter?
Solid really isn't the most important state of matter; all the states of matter are equal. For example the solid state of matter allows us to be well solid, liquid provides a form of matter useful to fish, oxygen in the form of gas allows us to breathe, and plasma in the sun or fire (fire is actually a plasma if you didn't know) keeps us warm and fuels photosynthesis. - Dave!

Is fire an example for plasma state matter?
It CAN be. Fire is a mixture of various hot gases, but if the flame is hot enough those gases will become ionized. When this happens, it changes state and becomes a plasma.
Is it possible for fire to be solid?
No, fire is not solid. Fire is a process of rapid oxidation that produces heat, light, and flame. It exists in the form of plasma, which is a state of matter where electrons are stripped from atoms.
Is fire state of matter?
No, the flame itself contains a mixture of gas, plasma, and often small solid particles.
Is fire a solid a liquid a gas or a plasma?
Fire is a form of plasma. Plasma is a state of matter where gases have been ionized by high temperatures, resulting in a collection of charged particles.
What state of matter is a flame considered as?
A flame is not a substance like water or air. Rather, it is the result of heat and light energy so you can't really say what state of matter it is in. Think of it like this; asking what state of matter a flame is in would be like asking what state of matter light or heat are in. They are forms of energy, not substances.
Fifth state of matter?
1st state of matter- solid 2nd state of matter- liquid 3rd state of matter- gas 4th state of matter- plasma 5th state of matter- Bose Einstein condensate 6th state of matter - fermionic condensate 7th state of matter- thought to be Fermionic condensate
