The chemical process of burning of a substance in the presence of air or oxygen with the liberation of heat and light is called combustion. Substances can be classified as:
1. Rapid combustion: larger amount of heat and light are released in a very short span of time. E.g. combustion of LPG, which produces heat light intently. They also require external heat. Cooking gas (in our homes), spirit, petrol and camphor go to flames even with a spark from gas lighter. These materials are highly inflammable. You might have observed "Highly Inflammable " written on petrol tankers. This is a warning to keep a flame away from these tankers.
2. Explosion: Characterized by sudden release of heat, light and sound e.g.: bursting of firecrackers.When a cracker is ignited it explodes with a big -bang producing heat and light (sparkles.) Same is the true with the firing of gun. Big sound is produced along with combustion. Fire wood burns with a crackling sound.
3. Spontaneous combustion: Substances catch fire on their own, without the application of external heat e.g. white phosphorous.In this type of combustion a material suddenly bursts into flames without the application of any apparent cause for e.g. spontaneous forest fires are sometimes due to the heat of the sun or lighting strike.
1. Complete combustion: Combustion takes place in adequate amount of air or oxygen. It results in the formation of carbon dioxide, water, heat and light.
2. Incomplete combustion: Combustion take place in inadequate amount of air or oxygen .It result in the formation of carbon monoxide, soot, water, heat and light.
Soot : Black powdered substance produced on incomplete combustion.
Condition necessary of combustion:
1. Presence of combustion substances: Combustion is only possible in the presence of combustion substance i.e. called fuel. e.g. wood, charcoal, petrol etc.
2. Presence of a supporter of combustion: Adequate amount of supporter of combustion e.g.: oxygen.
3. Attainment of ignition temperature: A substance start to burn after attainment of certain minimum temperature. The temperature at which a particular substances burn in the presence of air is called ignition temperature. A substance cannot catch fire below its ignition temperature.
Note: A substance will not burn without one or more of these conditions.
Inflammable substances: Substances like petrol, LPG, alcohol catch fire easily because they have low ignition temperature and are inflammable substances.
Combustion is a chemical process in which a substance (fuel) burns in the presence of air (oxygen) with the release of heat and light. On combustion the burning fuels gets combines with oxygen to form new substance. Sometimes, combustion is accompanied with the production of sound as well.The sound produced may be a hissing sound, crackling sound or an explosion.
`
When compounds undergo combustion, two or more combustion products are formed. When carbon - hydrogen compounds undergo combustion is an excess of oxygen, the combustion products are carbon dioxide and water.
The metabolism of glucose , blood sugar that occurs in our bodies the energy to sustain our life is also a combustion reaction that occurs at a steady rate

My experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
About Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
Abhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
Abhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
One of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
