Name one substance which undergoes spontaneous combustion?

★·.·´¯`·.·★ Answer: ★·.·´¯`·.·★

White phosphorous undergoes spontaneous combustion (or burns in air at room temperature).

Why does white phosphorus burn at room temperature?

White phosphorus is highly reactive, and spontaneously ignites at about 30°C in moist air. It is usually stored under water, to prevent exposure to the air. ... Red phosphorus is stable at room temperature, but can be converted to the more reactive white phosphorus by heat, sunlight, or friction.
