Best Answer

The flame is significant to Confirmation because it is a symbol of the Holy Spirit, particularly as He was poured out upon the Apostles on the Jewish Feast of Pentecost. Scripture notes that on that day, tongues of fire appeared over their heads as the Holy Spirit was given to them and they were emboldened to go out and preach the Gospel. The Sacrament of Confirmation is a sort of Pentecost event in the life of a Catholic because it results in the Holy Spirit being poured out upon that person, and him being strengthened to live his faith with boldness and to be a soldier for Christ.

Explain why you would or would not expect significant ionization in the flame?

Ions may not form in a flame because the high temperature typically leads to the dissociation of molecules into atoms. At such high temperatures, most atoms are in the gaseous state, where they are unlikely to form ions. However, in some cases, particularly with metals, ionization can occur due to the presence of high-energy photons or collisions with other particles leading to the formation of ions.


Is sooty flame a luminous or non luminous?
