Sooty flame
Sooty flame. Alkene (oct-1-ene) burning in a crucible with a sooty (smoky) flame. Alkenes are unsaturated (double bonded) organic molecules. The sooty flame is characteristic of alkenes. It occurs due to the high number of carbon atoms in the flame, which have not been fully oxidized

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the mesmerizing phenomenon of a sooty flame. The image captures an alkene, specifically oct-1-ene, burning in a crucible with a smoky and dark flame. Alkenes are organic molecules that possess double bonds, making them unsaturated. This unique property gives rise to the distinctive sooty flame observed in this experiment. In the laboratory setting, this chemical combustion serves as an essential lesson in chemistry education. The apparatus used for this practical demonstration includes various equipment such as a crucible and other analytical tools. By witnessing this alight reaction firsthand, students gain valuable insights into the properties of unsaturated chemicals and their behavior during combustion. The high number of carbon atoms present within the flame contributes to its characteristic smokiness since these atoms have not undergone complete oxidation. As science enthusiasts delve into the intricacies of chemical reactions, they discover how different compounds interact under specific conditions. Science Photo Library's remarkable print encapsulates both the beauty and scientific significance behind this fiery display. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly simple experiments can hold profound educational value by unraveling complex concepts within our world of chemistry.
