answered-by-expert Expert Answer
  • Most of the carbon compounds give a lot of heat and light when burnt in air.
  • Saturated hydrocarbons burn with a clean flame and no smoke is produced.
  • The carbon compounds, used as a fuel, have high calorific values.
  • Therefore, carbon and its compounds are used as fuels for most applications.
