the claim

Combustion requires oxygen.

the verdict
CONTESTED
the evidence cuts both ways
Recorded sources
7 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that combustion requires oxygen?

Partly. Several textbook and reference sources state that combustion requires oxygen, while one chemistry source argues oxygen is not strictly needed because other oxidizers such as fluorine also support combustion. The evidence therefore covers the claim directly but points in both directions.
