Explain different types of combustion along with examples.

Explanation

Types of combustion are,
(i) Rapid combustion: The type of combustion in which a substance burns rapidly producing heat and light is called rapid combustion Example: Burning of LPG.
(ii) Spontaneous combustion: The type of combustion in which a material suddenly bursts into flames, without the application of any apparent cause is called spontaneous combustion, e.g., Burning of phosphorus at room temperature.
(iii) Explosion:- The type of combustion in which a sudden reaction takes place in air with the evolution of heat, light and sound is called explosion. A large amount of gas formed in the reaction is liberated, e.g., Explosion in crackers.
