Burning
Burning releases exothermic reaction
An exothermic reaction is a chemical or physical process that releases energy, typically as heat, light, or sound, into its surroundings.
A chemical bond is the attractive force that holds atoms, ions, or molecules together to form a compound.
An attractive force is a force that causes objects or particles to move toward each other.
Combustion is a rapid chemical reaction between a substance, called a fuel, and an oxidant, usually oxygen, that releases energy as heat and light, often with a flame.
An oxidant, also called an oxidizing agent, is a chemical substance that accepts electrons from another substance during a chemical reaction.
An exothermic reaction can be identified by the release of energy into its surroundings, most commonly felt as an increase in temperature.
Rusting is a redox reaction.
When copper reacts with oxygen, it primarily forms copper(II) oxide (CuO).
When magnesium burns in air, the chemical energy stored in the magnesium and oxygen is converted into light energy and heat energy.
Light energy is a form of electromagnetic radiation that travels in waves and can also be described as a stream of particles called photons.
Electromagnetic (EM) radiation is a form of energy that travels as waves through space, created by the movement of electric charges.
Photons are the fundamental particles, or "quanta," of all electromagnetic radiation.
Quanta are the smallest discrete units of any physical property involved in an interaction.
A discrete unit is a separate, distinct, and unconnected part of a larger whole.
Heat energy is the energy transferred between objects due to a difference in their temperatures.
Sound energy is the energy produced by vibrations and transmitted through a medium like air, water, or solids in the form of waves.
