State

Combustion is a vigorous redox reaction between a fuel and an oxidant, usually oxygen, releasing heat and light.

Show

Ethylene's combustion oxidizes carbon from −2 to +4 as oxygen drops from 0 to −2, forming CO2 and H2O.

Watch for

Combustion names a broad redox pattern, not one fuel or oxidant — it fits a candle in air and a rocket burning aluminum in perchlorate.
