Burning is a combustion reaction, which is a type of oxidation-reduction reaction. During combustion, carbon is oxidized. This means that it oxidation state becomes more positive, since it loses electrons during the reaction (it is bonded to the more electronegative oxygen after the reaction, whereas it was bonded to less electronegative hydrogen before the reaction).
the burning of oil in factories..........
Carbon atoms from a complex organic food molecule, such as glucose, are completely oxidized at the end of its reaction chain. Carbon dioxide is the waste that is released as a result of this reaction.
A simple example of the combining of carbon and oxygen would be the burning of coal.
Burning of (any amount of ) coal is a chemical change.

There are many ways. But it is happening when burning.

The carbon atoms are released as carbon dioxide (C02) which is what humans breathe out

A simple example of the combining of carbon and oxygen would be the burning of coal.
Hydrogen atoms released from water are added to carbon dioxide molecules so that carbon oxygen bonds are broken and carbon atoms can join together. Carbon dioxide consists of a carbon atom attached to two oxygen atoms. That way, a carbon atom joins two other carbon atoms. One of the hydrogen atoms joins the carbon atom and one of the hydrogen atoms joins with the oxygen atom. You end up with the carbon atom attached to four different atoms.
During photosynthesis, carbon atoms from carbon dioxide are converted into glucose through a series of chemical reactions. The carbon atoms become part of the glucose molecules and are stored in the plant's tissues.

All the carbon atoms in glucose are ultimately incorporated into carbon dioxide during cellular respiration. This process occurs through a series of metabolic reactions that break down glucose to produce energy, with carbon dioxide being a byproduct that is released as waste.
The carbon atoms in the glucose molecule originally came from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis.
