Answer:

A flame is defined as the gaseous part of the fire which is visible to us. A flame is created due to the high exothermic reaction.

Two types of flames based on the amount of oxygen available are:

  • Non-luminous or blue flame: In this type of flame the amount of oxygen is sufficiently large and it gives blue flame. For example: flame of Gas stove.
  • Luminous flame: In this type of flame, the oxygen availability id not sufficient for the complete combustion and left unburnt carbon particles that forms yellow light flame. For example: kerosene lamp.
