Answer:
The process of burning carbon and its compounds in excess of oxygen for the release of heat and light (energy) is known as combustion. Following are some of the examples of the combustion reaction of organic compounds: C + O2 ⇨ CO2 + Heat + Light. C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O.+ Heat + Light.

Answer:
Combustion is generally an oxidation reaction, but all oxidation reactions are not combustion reactions. Oxidation of alcohols produces carboxylic acid in the presence of oxidizing agents. For Example: Ethanol, on oxidation in the presence of an oxidising agent will form ethanal (an aldehyde).
