Yes- fire is an example of combustion- the reaction with oxygen to produce a variety of products which depend on the material being burnt- burning say coal or oil gives CO2 and CO as well as many other compounds. Yes it is. When you set something on fire, it means you are oxidizing it.

An amtom undergoes a reaction ant attains a more stable from how do you know is it was chemical or nuclear reaction?

If an atom undergoes a chemical reaction, it involves rearrangement of electrons in the outer shell to form new chemical bonds. On the other hand, if it undergoes a nuclear reaction, it involves changes in the atomic nuclei, resulting in the formation of different elements or isotopes. To determine whether it was a chemical or nuclear reaction, observe whether there are changes in the electron configuration or in the atomic number and mass of the atom.

When hydrochloric acid is mixed with calcium is that a chemical or a physical reaction?

The reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium is a chemical reaction because new substances are formed. In this reaction, calcium displaces hydrogen from hydrochloric acid to produce calcium chloride and hydrogen gas. This process involves a rearrangement of atoms and the formation of different chemical bonds.
