Across
- 7. The slow, low-temperature combustion of a material without flames, often producing smoke and heat.
- 10. A burning process characterized by flames, heat, and light, resulting from combustion.
- 11. The process of burning something, producing heat, light, and often smoke.
- 12. A colorless, odorless reactive gas, the chemical element of atomic number 8 and the life-supporting component of the air.
- 14. A gas produced during combustion, consisting of carbon and oxygen atoms.
- 17. Energy transferred from one object to another due to temperature difference, often involved in starting and sustaining combustion.
- 19. The blackened, partially burned material left after incomplete combustion, often found in wood or other organic matter.
- 20. The process of converting a liquid or solid into a vapor or gas, often preceding combustion.
- 21. A small, hot particle produced by friction or electrical discharge, capable of igniting flammable materials.
Down
- 1. The mixture of gases, particles, and water vapor produced by combustion, often visible as a cloud.
- 2. The action of setting something on fire or starting to burn.
- 3. A hot glowing body of ignited gas that is generated by something on fire.
- 4. The powdery residue left after burning a material, consisting mainly of minerals.
- 5. Easily ignited and capable of burning quickly, often used to describe materials that can catch fire easily.
- 6. A closed space where combustion occurs, often found in engines, furnaces, and other combustion devices.
- 8. Resistant to burning or ignition, often achieved through the use of fire-resistant materials or coatings.
- 9. Material such as coal, gas, or oil that is burned to produce heat or power.
- 13. Fine black particles of carbon produced by incomplete combustion of organic matter.
- 15. The controlled burning of waste materials to reduce their volume and convert them into ash, gases, and heat.
- 16. A compound made of hydrogen and carbon atoms, often found in fuels like gasoline and natural gas.
- 18. A substance that provides oxygen for combustion, often used in rocket propellants and fireworks.
