Fire is burning, which is combustion, and combustion is a type of oxidation reaction. Oxidation means combined chemically with oxygen . Oxidation is an exothermic reaction, meaning it gives releases heat energy.
The chemical equations for the oxidation of carbon and hydrogen are:
C+O2 -->CO2 (This reaction occurs when there is enough oxygen for the formation of carbon dioxide.)
2C+O2--> (This reaction occurs when there is only enough oxygen for the formation of carbon monoxide.)
2H2 +O2--> 2H2O
These reactions release the energy you feel as heat and light
combustion is the complete oxidation of organic compounds into carbon dioxide and water molecule in presence of oxygen.where as oxidation is addition of oxygen in a compound or addition with an element.
combustion:CH+O2_CO2+H2O
oxidation:C+O2_CO2.
