A combustion reaction is a chemical process that involves the rapid reaction between a substance with an oxidant, usually oxygen, to produce heat and light. It's essentially a rapid oxidation reaction where a fuel reacts with an oxidant, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. A common example is burning wood, where the wood (fuel) reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light.
