The correct Answer is:
To determine the number of materials that produce a flame when burned from the given list: Wax, camphor, LPG, magnesium ribbon, candle, kerosene oil, and charcoal, we will analyze each material based on whether it vaporizes during burning, as only those that vaporize can produce a flame. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the materials**: The materials given are: - Wax - Camphor - LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) - Magnesium ribbon - Candle - Kerosene oil - Charcoal 2. **Analyze each material**: - **Wax**: When burned, wax vaporizes and produces a flame. (Produces flame) - **Camphor**: Camphor also vaporizes when burned and produces a flame. (Produces flame) - **LPG**: LPG is a gas that vaporizes easily and produces a flame when burned. (Produces flame) - **Magnesium ribbon**: When magnesium ribbon burns, it produces a bright flame, but it does not vaporize in the same way as the others. However, it still produces a flame. (Produces flame) - **Candle**: A candle is made of wax, which vaporizes when burned, producing a flame. (Produces flame) - **Kerosene oil**: Kerosene oil vaporizes when burned and produces a flame. (Produces flame) - **Charcoal**: Charcoal does not vaporize in the same way as the others; it burns but does not produce a flame. (Does not produce flame) 3. **Count the materials that produce a flame**: - The materials that produce a flame are: Wax, Camphor, LPG, Magnesium ribbon, Candle, and Kerosene oil. - Total materials producing flame = 6 ### Final Answer: The number of materials which on burning form a flame is **6**. ---
