Although there are special cases such as burning hydrogen in a chlorine atmosphere without oxygen, what you and I would normally call burning is exothermic (i.e. releasing heat) oxidation. The result of burning is therefore a compound (most commonly oxide), not an element.
There is a reverse process called reduction where the oxygen is removed from the compound, often at high temperatures. This process can in theory yield a pure element from an oxide. Note though that this is not burning as the heat has to be supplied to the reaction externally (endothermic reaction).
What else can I help you with?
What new chemical forms when a metal is burned?
When a metal is burned, it can form metal oxides by reacting with oxygen in the air. For example, when iron is burned, it forms iron oxide (rust).
What element is non metal and makes up the largest percentage of the air?
Nitrogen makes up 75% of the air followed by carbon dioxide and oxygen
When metals are burned in the air they form new substance what are these new substance called?
When metals burn in air they form metal oxides.
What is formed when an element is burned in air or oxygen?
When an element is burned in air or oxygen, it forms oxides. The type of oxide formed depends on the reactivity of the element with oxygen. For example, carbon forms carbon dioxide while magnesium forms magnesium oxide.
Is element K an metal?
element K is potassium and yes it is a metal.
What new chemical forms when a metal is burned?
When a metal is burned, it can form metal oxides by reacting with oxygen in the air. For example, when iron is burned, it forms iron oxide (rust).
When metal are burned in air they form metal oxide?
Burning is an oxidation; oxides are then formed.
A yellow element that stinks when burned?
Sulfur is a yellow element that emits a foul odor resembling rotten eggs when burned.
This type of compound is usually formed when you burn an element in air?
Oxides are the type of compound that is typically formed when an element is burned in air. Oxides are compounds composed of an element combined with oxygen.
Is a flame element or compound?
Neither. Flame is a mixture of air and partially burned material.
What weighs more lead or air?
lead which is element of non metal is heavier than air
What element is non metal and makes up the largest percentage of the air?
Nitrogen makes up 75% of the air followed by carbon dioxide and oxygen
When metals are burned in the air they form new substance what are these new substance called?
When metals burn in air they form metal oxides.
What is metal element?
Metal is not an element. It is a term used to classify an element, but it is not an element.
What element when burned turnes violet?
Potassium compounds other than borates, phosphates, and silicates. Masked by sodium or lithium.
What element is yellow and stinks when burned?
Sulfur is the element that is yellow and stinks like rotten eggs when burned.
What kind of oxide is formed when a metal like Mg is burned?
when MG is burned in air we get magnesium dioxide which is a base.this oxide appears as a white ash.when mixed in water we get mahnesium hydroxide which a famous antacid.
