My favorite thing to do is ask physicists about fire. Mostly because when they try to explain it in layman's terms or too in depth they sometimes start pulling their hair out. But Neil of course does it better than most and manages to keep his hair in the process.
My grandfather was a astrophysicist. But he taught me in words that I could understand. As I got older the teaching got more where I understood. Neil is Awesome.
I had some confusion because I didn't quite get the difference between phase changes and heat giving something the energy needed for a chemical reaction, creating fire.
You should ask chemists about fire, not physicists and not astrophysicists. I thought my comment was the only one where someone explained all the things wrong with what Neil "explained," but it turns out that there are plenty of other chemists all showing the same things.
I love these videos but I believe that there is something technically incorrect here. Bond-breaking due to heat is an endothermic process - it takes heat in to break the bonds. You do not gain energy by breaking apart organic molecules. The energy you gain from burning results from oxygen subsequently bonding with the now released carbon and hydrogen to make CO2 and H2O.
I believe you're thinking of the process called 'pyrolysis'. That's where the material (example wood), ignites. The surface begins breaking down due to the heat, particles are given off. Those particles are flammable and when they rise, they mix with the air for the proper mix and ignite. The heat they give off is not only radiated outwards, but part of it is transferred to the surface of the material that's burning. That in turn, continues breaking down the surface, more particles are released and you have that self sustaining chain reaction that continues until either the fuel is used up or the material is cooled down.
Combustion is a fascinating process that explains why some things burn and others don't. It requires a combination of heat, fuel, and oxygen, which is why you can't burn water. it's already oxidized! Not everything that gets hot will ignite, as the material's chemical structure plays a crucial role. Most things that burn contain carbon, which is essential for chemical energy release. Interestingly, there are very few things we eat that don't contain carbon, as it's a fundamental element in food. When it comes to burning wood, hardwoods like oak and hickory are among the best because they burn slowly and produce less smoke. The crackling sound from burning wood is caused by moisture and sap pockets popping as they heat up. Soot and CO2 are common byproducts of combustion, and these gases are important topics when considering the environmental impact of burning. Given the complex nature of combustion and its effects, how can we balance our use of fire for practical purposes with the need to protect our environment?
breaking bond does not release energy, it is there are more energy released than it is absorb when the molecule form bonds with the oxygen. This is why things don't spontaneously combust themselves
Actually, breaking bonds (molecular), does release energy but not always enough energy to burst into flames. An example is our body heat. That's from our bodies breaking down the bonds in our food releasing the heat. Not enough for us to burst into flames but enough for our bodies to warm up.
This video made me think that technically the Sun is not burning, nuclear Fusion doesn't count as burning since there is no C involved neither oxygen... All my childhood believes are changing since I found this channel!!! Guys you are awesome! Keep doing it!
I know Carbon is one of his favorite elements (for good reasons!), still just a little bit disappointed to see that Neil left of other kinds broader kinds of 'Burning' like Rust is burnt Iron, water is burnt hydrogen etc. Any kind of oxidation process can be termed as burning technically.
Magnesium can be burned in a lot of fluids. Pure nitrogen works fine, and so does water. In fact I was curious if Chuck will not point it out as burning water even though it's the other way around.
The other day I was sitting around watching the fire burning in the fireplace... and I was thinking.. what is actually happening to that wood when it is catching fire and burning. I'm so eager to listen to this video.
You have to note that other substances can burn/combust not just Organic materials. Combustion in itself is a just an exothermic redox reaction between (mainly oxygen) and a fuel.
I wish Neil and Chuck would expand the burning process to explain how the energy is released - heat. Photons? Mostly infrared below the visible spectrum? But some in the visible - light? Ultraviolet? So what are flames? Vapor being burned? Plasma? Heated gas? Heated carbon? What exactly is the flame I see, from a candle, for instance? Isn't rust and aluminum oxide, the ashes of burnt iron and aluminum? And because they 'burn' at room temperature, we don't see any flames????
Ow. I mean it is a fun bit about organic stuff burning, but inorganic materials can oxidise as well, even violently with flames - magnesium would be the first to come to my mind and there's plenty of more examples. Heck, even hydrogen, hardly an organic compound, and it will gladly oxidise into water vapour. Don't play with matches where you have an abundance of H2.
Excellent as always... except it's the formation of chemical bonds in the products that releases heat energy in combustion, not the breaking of chemical bonds in the reactants.
I have to react to this. As a pyrotechnician i can say Metals can burn. Like the burning Mg ribbon you saw in chemistry class. Al, Fe, Ti.... all burn. Or react with oxygen to become oxides, to say it in another way. The only difference is how much energy (heat) you put in it. But metals will burn!
I liked that you explained the difference between 40 year old carbon and million year old carbon when thinking about adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. We should not be using this level of oil, gas, or coal as we are using now because they are adding to atmospheric carbon, just like burning the rain forest.
speaking of which, i'd like to use weak carbonic acid whilst watering all my pot plants but, dont want to be using expensive carbonated water. is there a cheap/easy way to produce weak carbonic acid? burnt wood steeped in water?
Salt is soo not flammable that we use salt to cover titanium fires to prevent them from spreading. You can NOT put water on a titanium fire unless you want a hydrogen fire. And in a titanium plant, a hydrogen fire means more titanium fires. Titanium burns so hot that most times it is MUCH better to cover the fire with salt and allow the titanium sponge and dust to burn itself out slowly. Even a tow motor fork catching a piece of sponge and dragging it across concrete is enough to ignite it, so fire fighting/prevention was a regular training event.
Uh no. Aluminum oxidizes, and is VERY flammable. We literally make fireworks with it. Thermite is 1/3 aluminum powder, and 2/3 iron oxide powder (rust powder)
please correct me if im wrong but I understood that magnesium burns because of the carbon dioxide on the air, if you look after it stops burning, what you see is some black stuff left, and that's the carbon it took from the air.
After a few minutes in youtube physics experiments watching, we saw that Magnesium and lithium also burns . if everything that contains a flame , burns, then what is said was wrong . do we miss anything ?
Neil can explain MUCH BETTER, but here is a rough idea. Rust is the direct result of oxidation, not burning. Thermite is also an oxidation event, only more extreme. Better classified as an oxidation reduction reaction.
H2 and NH3 also burn and they don't have Carbon in them, fhough the latter has weaker combustion properties when compared to say gasoline, h2, LPG, etc.

Thanks for all the triggers, guys. Now I HAVE TO watch The Trammps (the 11mins version, gimme those funky horns!), Kingpin (Don't do a Munson!), You don't mess with the Zohan and get a silky smooth haircut...
But why is there soot and ashes? I mean you just need to start the burning and its a chain reaction right? Why does the reaction die out before it spends all the fuel (carbon) available?
I had Organic for "What do they all have in common." You have to take byproducts into account, coal, oil, manmade hydrocarbons, alcohol. Also, for water, isn't it the fuel for the flame when you dump water into hot oil? I thought the heat separated the molecular bond and the hydrogen caught fire. Oh wait, Hydrogen burns without Carbon. Also, don't some acid/metal reactions create flame as well?
So, when a person inhales cigarette smoke, are they in effect having an apatite suppression effect due to having absorbed the carbon molecule energy from the tobacco plant itself? Hence literally “feeding” off said plants’ energy? Aka: 🚬 DOES = dinner??? Lol
How is the sun on fire? Like where does the oxygen come from? I'm guessing its a diffrent gas or maybe different type of fore or plasma or something Barley started the video but i hope they explain that one
"You pay due respect to the tree that gave its life for the molecular energy contained in it, and the fact that life is carbon-based." ~ NDT. Yes, YES! I really do just that! Just as I pay respect to any other thing, whether plant or animal, that gave its life for the molecular energy contained in it to give me the energy to live my carbon-based life.

Burning is slow oxidation...rust on steroids. Also not just removing oxygen puts it out, remove fuel, remove heat, it's a triangle.
Combustion is a fascinating process that explains why some things burn and others don't. It requires a combination of heat, fuel, and oxygen, which is why you can't burn water. it's already oxidized!
