Reactivity 1.3.1 - reactive metals, non-metals and organic compounds undergo combustion reactions when heated in oxygen

block metals form ionic oxides which are basic
block non-metals generally form covalent oxides which are acidic

in complete combustion, the products are fully oxidised

combustion of organic compounds that contain other elements produces a range of other products

challenge questions
  1. a compound containing carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen was analysed by combustion. of the compound produced of carbon dioxide and of water. identify the empirical formula of the compound.
