The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Combustion**: - Combustion is a chemical reaction that occurs when a substance reacts with oxygen, producing heat and light. This reaction can produce a flame if the substance is flammable. 2. **Properties of Charcoal**: - Charcoal is primarily composed of carbon. It is produced by the pyrolysis of wood, which means it is created by heating wood in the absence of oxygen. 3. **Flammable vs. Inflammable Substances**: - Flammable substances ignite easily and produce flames when burned. Inflammable substances do not ignite easily and do not produce flames under normal conditions. 4. **Why Charcoal Does Not Produce Flame**: - Charcoal does not produce a flame when it burns because it burns at a lower temperature and does not release volatile gases that can ignite. Instead, it glows and produces heat without a visible flame. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the reason charcoal does not produce a flame is due to its composition and the nature of its combustion process, which does not involve the release of flammable gases.
