Combustion

Real World Example

Imagine trying to cook a meal with only a matchstick; you need more than just a spark, you need a fire to get things going. In a similar way, combustion involves a fuel reacting with oxygen to produce the energy needed to create heat and light, much like how a small flame can ignite a larger fire to cook your food. Just as the matchstick alone isn't enough to cook your food without a fire, fuel alone isn't enough to produce energy without oxygen; both need the right combination to unleash their full potential and achieve the desired outcome.
