What happens in a combustion reaction? why is incomplete combustion a problem?

Explanation:

Combustion Reaction:

combustion is an exothermic reaction that is a reaction of fuel with oxygen. In this an amount of heat produced along with the production of carbon dioxide and water

As Shown in the reaction

                 CH₄ + 2O₂ > CO₂ + 2H₂O + heat

The heat in this reaction is equal to -418 KJ/mol

Incomplete Combustion Reaction:

In this type of reaction the reaction occur in insufficient amount of oxygen that complete fuel not burnt to produce energy.

In Incomplete combustion the fuel not react completely to produce CO₂ and 2H₂O instead it produce CO and water with carbon

As Shown in the reaction

                 4CH₄ + 5O₂ > 2CO + 8H₂O + 2C

incomplete combustion a problem

This is a problem because of the following reasons

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.
