What type of particles is fire made up of?

Yggdrasil said:Fire is a form of energy so, it would not be made-up of particles. I am not sure that anyone could find out what fire is made of, unless you want to put it under your microscope and find out.
Fire is made up of three main types of particles: heat, fuel, and oxygen. Heat is the energy that is required to start and sustain a fire. Fuel is any material that can be burned, such as wood, paper, or gasoline. Oxygen is the gas in the air that is needed for combustion to occur.
Yes, fire is made up of atoms. When a material burns, it undergoes a chemical reaction called combustion. During this process, the atoms of the material combine with oxygen atoms in the air, producing new molecules and releasing energy in the form of heat and light.
Yes, there are other particles present in fire, such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ash. These particles are byproducts of the combustion process. Water vapor is formed when the hydrogen atoms in the fuel combine with oxygen atoms, while carbon dioxide is produced when the carbon atoms in the fuel combine with oxygen atoms. Ash is the residue left behind after the fuel has been burned.
No, fire cannot exist without oxygen. Oxygen is a crucial component of the combustion process because it is needed for the chemical reaction to occur. Without oxygen, the fire would not have the necessary fuel to sustain itself and would eventually extinguish.
When a fire goes out, the particles that were present in the fire will disperse into the air. The heat will dissipate, and the fuel will have been completely consumed. The remaining particles, such as water vapor and carbon dioxide, will also disperse into the air, and the ash will be left behind.
