Combustion or burning is an exothermic reaction between a substance and a gas to release heat. Combustion normally occurs in oxygen (often in the form of gaseous O₂) to form oxides, However, combustion can also take place in other gases like chlorine.

The products of such reactions usually include water (H₂O) as well as carbon monoxide (CO) and/or carbon dioxide (CO₂). Other byproducts, such as partially reacted fuel and elemental carbon (C) may generate visible smoke and soot.
