- Carbon compounds combust in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water (for hydrocarbons), heat, and light.
- Hydrocarbons such as methane, ethanol, and propane undergo complete combustion, releasing energy.
- Complete combustion is indicated by a clean, blue flame, while incomplete combustion produces a yellow, sooty flame.
- Combustion is an important chemical property of carbon compounds, especially common fuels.
