Boiling point Ans. C Remember the following: 1. Fire - Combustion or burning in which substances combine chemically with oxygen from the air and typically give out bright light,heat and smoke. 2. Flame - A hot glowing body of ignited gas that is generated by something on fire. 3. Conflagration - An extensive fire that destroys a great deal of land or property. 4. Burning - Means on fire or very hot or bright. 5. Combustion - The rapid chemical combination of a substance with oxygen involving the production of heat and light.

6. Heat - The quality of being hot or high temperature at which fuel will continue to burn for at least 5 seconds after ignition by an open flame. 7. Light - The natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible. 8. Plasma - Is one of the 4 fundamental states of matter, the other being solid,liquid and gas. 9. Flash point - The lowest temperature a which the vapor of a combustible liquid can be ignited in air. 10.Fire point - Is the temperature at which fuel will continue to burn for at least five seconds after ignition by an open flame.
