Oxygen + organic molecule -------> carbon dioxide + water
Yes, oxygen is used as a reactant in combustion reactions and is often depleted during the process as it combines with other elements to form combustion products such as carbon dioxide and water vapor. These combustion products contain the oxygen atoms that were part of the original reactant.
Combustion reactions always have O2 as a reactant. The other reactant is the thing being burned. If the thing being burned is a hydrocarbon, the products will be water and carbon dioxide.
reactants: an element and oxygen products: the oxide of the element
The term that describes a reactant that removes electrons from another reactant is "oxidizing agent" or "oxidant." In a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction, the oxidizing agent undergoes reduction by gaining electrons, while facilitating the oxidation of the other reactant. This process is essential in many chemical reactions, including combustion and respiration.
In complete combustion, all the reactants will be converted into carbon dioxide and water. In incomplete combustion, some of the reactants will be converted to carbon dioxide, some will become carbon monoxide, and some may not react at all. Quite often incomplete combustion will result in a "sooty" flame.

No. Molecular oxygen is a reactant in a combustion reaction.
Oxygen.
There are two main types of combustion. These are complete, in which the reactant burns in oxygen producing a few reactions, such as carbon dioxide and water. Incomplete combustion occurs when there is not enough oxygen to complete a reaction.
O2
Combustion reactions always have O2 as a reactant. The other reactant is the thing being burned. If the thing being burned is a hydrocarbon, the products will be water and carbon dioxide.
Every combustion reaction we deal with produces gas with oxygen in the product, so O2 (oxygen gas) must be a reactant. For example, methane reacts with Oxygen in this way: CH4(l) + O2(g) -> C02(g)+2H2(g) Note O2 in gaseous form as a reactant.
Oxygen typically serves as a reactant in chemical reactions where it undergoes oxidation or combustion processes. It is involved in various reactions, such as cellular respiration, combustion of fuels, and rusting of metals.
