In the self assessment for chemistry Question 78 answer says that hydrogen is flammable oxygen is nonflammable. is this true? I thought O2 was very flammable?

I don't think O2 is flammable. Think about it... our atmosphere would be burning up.

Oxygen is not flammable. Oxygen is a required reactant in a combustion reaction. You can't burn pure oxygen. Other substances which are flammable consume oxygen when they burn.
This makes sense thank you! Anyone have any tips on how to figure out gases produced? I always somehow choose oxygen when hydrogen is the right answerOxygen is not flammable.
