A chemical that catches fire and burns readily is gasoline. It is a highly volatile liquid hydrocarbon that ignites easily in the presence of an ignition source, producing flames and heat. Due to its flammability, gasoline is commonly used as fuel in engines, but it poses significant fire hazards if not handled properly. Other examples of readily flammable chemicals include alcohols and certain solvents.
What else can I help you with?
Is magnesium used in light bulbs?
There is no reason to use magnesium in light bulbs. Magnesium readily and easily catches fire and burns -- white hot.

It readily catches fire when exposed to oxygen.
What is used in fire grenades?
White phosphorus, it is a chemical that catches fire on contact with oxygen.
How does a fire start?
when a flammable chemical such as oil (ancient tree) gets heated up to much it acts as a chemical reaction it catches on fire
What is the property that describes how easily a substance catches fire and burn?
The property that describes how easily a substance catches fire and burns is called flammability. It measures the ability of a material to ignite and sustain combustion when exposed to a heat source.
What changes are happening when a fire burns in a fireplace?
A physical and Chemical change.
If you are on an island that catches on fire for the full width of the island with no beaches only cliffs and sharks in the water how do you survive?
Start a backfire. Get some fire from the flames and start another fire on the side away from the fire. As the big fire burns toward you, your fire burns away from you. Walk into the area that was already burned behind you.

YES, but it's better to say that substances burn, causing fire.
Why does fire travel faster uphill?
Because fire does not burn down, it burns up and it therefore catches things above it on fire and it spreads that way. Also the wind current aids in it's spread.
Material that burns easily and is used to start a fire?
Kindling, such as small dry twigs or paper, are materials that burn easily and are commonly used to start a fire. These materials ignite quickly and help to initially build the flame before larger fuel sources can catch fire. It's important to exercise caution when using kindling to start a fire to prevent accidents.
