Elite Engineer Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I know why O-O bonds in peroxides, and other bonds are reactive in a redox reaction, but why are C-H bonds able to combust in a redox reaction? It seems C-H bonds are relatively stable. Why does methane, ethane, propane, etc. react with combustion? ~ee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cuthber Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The CO and OH bonds are even more stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
