A material that will spontaneously ignite and burn when exposed to air is called pyrophoric. Pyrophoric materials are highly reactive and can pose fire hazards if not handled properly.
A flammable solid is classified as a material that can readily catch fire and burn when exposed to a heat source. These solids can ignite spontaneously and pose a fire hazard if not stored and handled properly.
This is a pyrophoric material.
No. Inert gasses cannot ignite at all. They very rarely undergo reactions of any sort.
Microfiber towels do not spontaneously combust at a specific temperature. The material itself does not ignite on its own. However, if a microfiber towel is exposed to an external heat source, it can catch fire like any other fabric when it reaches its ignition point, typically around 700 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pyrophoric materials are substances that spontaneously ignite upon exposure to air. These materials can be extremely hazardous due to their ability to catch fire without an external ignition source. Special precautions, such as handling in inert atmospheres, are required when working with pyrophoric materials to prevent accidents.

Spontaneously Combustible
When a non metal reacts with oxygen it produces acidic or neutral oxides

This is a pyrophoric material.
Pyrophoricity is the property of some elements to ignite spontaneously when in contact with air or water. Two substances that ignite when brought together however, are considered hypergolic.
Because it can spontaneously ignite in air.
No. Inert gasses cannot ignite at all. They very rarely undergo reactions of any sort.

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.
A pyrophoric substance (from Greek purophoros, "fire-bearing") will ignite spontaneously.
