Question

Can anyone tell to which state of matter does fire belong?

Answer 1

Fire is actually a chemical reaction. It's an oxidation reaction to be specific. When wood gets hot enough (the part of the wood that is burning) the large hydrocarbons break down to charred solids and a gas.

Fire is the result of COMBUSTION, a chemical reaction. ... Since matter can be defined as “anything which occupies space and has mass or weight”, we can say that fire is a 'matter' because it occupies space and since it is a mixture of gases, it must have some mass. The light and the heat produced by the flame is energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

Fire doesn't fall into gas, because it doesn't expand in the same way gas does. Fire doesn't fall into liquid, because it doesn't have a fixed volume. Fire doesn't fall into solid, because it doesn't have a fixed shape. Thus, fire is currently considered a plasma.
