Is fire a solid, liquid or gas?

Its not any and maybe others have tried to classify it, but if you think about it, its not gas. Fire isn’t anywhere on the elemental charts. Hydrogen=gas, oxygen=gas, carbon dioxide=gas, fire…not gas. It is the product of gases mixed and combusting or ignited, but it isn’t gas. If anything I’d classify it with lightning wich would be plasma.

I guess it won’t hurt to throw my answer into the plethora of ignorance and the occasional intelligent answer.

Fire itself is not a state of matter. The reactants can be either a solid, a liquid, or a gas. The fire itself is nothing but the heat and light given of by the electrons as they go to a lower energy state.

Its heat and light, a chemical reaction, existing in a gas medium. The light is given off by the heated solids or gasses involved in the reaction. If hot enough, gasses nearby can enter the forth state of matter: plasma.

It’s none of them. Fire itself has no mass or volume, it is simply the result of energy being released by oxygen burning. It is the result of a gas combusting, but not an actual gas itself.

Fire isn’t any type of matter. It is light, energy. Solid/liquid/gas are states of matter. Light/energy is not matter.

ITS NONE OF THE ABOVE

fire is a plasma which isnt included in the family of solid liquid or gas

Its plasma, the fourth state of matter, an ionized form of gas which shows slight characteristics of liquids and solids.

None. Matter is the only thing that takes on these phases. Fire is a from of energy.

Good question though, I never thought about that before.

The flames are hot gasses in the process of oxidation.

Gas. Is it a liquid? No. How about solid. No, so the only thing last would be gas.
