>>12686268Different atoms have different pull- for example, Thermite uses Aluminium to strip oxygen from Iron Oxide, given its higher reactivity.
With enough energy you could get anything more reactive than hydrogen to "burn" in water. It would be called an oxidation reaction (the part where the new reagent is given oxygen, part of a total REDUX, which includes the opposite side of he reaction, the reduction), rather than burning, though, in, theory, I guess. Not sure what could actually rip oxygen from hydrogen in the case of H2O in liquid state... Maybe like white phosphorus?
