A material's ability to burn in the presence of oxygen is called flammability. Flammability is determined by factors such as the material's chemical composition, ignition temperature, and the presence of flammable vapors or gases. Materials with high flammability are more likely to catch fire and burn easily.
Flammability is the property you seek. There will be test methods in ASTM, ISO, and similar to evaluate this property.

Combustibility is an intrinsic property of a material, determined by its chemical composition and structure. It refers to the material's ability to ignite and burn in the presence of oxygen.
Yes, combustibility is an example of a physical property. It refers to the ability of a substance to burn or ignite in the presence of oxygen.
Lavoisier demonstrated that oxygen is necessary for materials to burn. He showed that combustion occurs due to the reaction between a material and oxygen, leading to the production of heat and light. This laid the foundation for understanding the process of combustion and the role of oxygen in it.
A substance's ability to burn is called its flammability. It refers to how easily a material catches fire and sustains combustion. Factors that influence flammability include the presence of flammable gases, liquids, or solids in the substance.
