Reactivity 1.3.1 - reactive metals, non-metals and organic compounds undergo combustion reactions when heated in oxygen
-
block metals form basic ionic oxides -
block non-metals generally form acidic covalent oxides -
in complete combustion, the products are fully oxidised
combustion of organic compounds that contain other elements produces a range of other products
challenge questions
- 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.
