Combustion is taught as a chemical reaction, we never screwed around with Bohr models learning combustion, just a simple matter of what chemicals are present that make something combustible and what chemicals are emitted during combustion.

You were never taught about electron bonding, valent and co-valent electrons, or reaction tables to determine how to determine which chemicals would react with which? That is the basics of combustion.

Not as part of combustion. That was just general chemistry. In combustion we learned the specific chemicle reaction of combustion, by that point we'd moved well past drawing little circles and were just dealing with the molecules by symbol. We were done with Bohr, thank God.
