Incombustible Not combustible; not capable of being burned, decomposed, or consumed by fire; un-inflammable. As asbestos is an incombustible substance.
Carbon dioxide is an incombustible gas.
Carbon dioxide is an incombustible gas.

CCl4 (carbon tetrachloride), on the other hand, does not support combustion and is used as a fire extinguishing agent and in other applications where non-flammability is required.

Actually according to the organic chemistry, CCl4 cannot achieve any type of burning or charring in the presence of atmosphere.
So, it cannot control the process of combustion.

Because CCl4 does not have free (delocalized) electrons as does a metal or something like graphite. Nor does CCl4 ionize in solution to form ions. It is a nonelectrolyte.

The molecular formula of carbon tetrachloride is CCl4. It is a tetrachloro derivative of methane. Its IUPAC name is tetrachloromethane and it doesn't burn.

Incompressible means. Those fluid which not affected by the temperature and pressure. This cause all liquid have this property. And ccl4 is also a liquid.

Chlorine being an electronegative element, would like to connect to an electropositive element carbon, as it can pull the electron pair closer to itself.

Since both, chlorine and oxygen, are electronegative elements therefore the combustion reaction CCl4 + 2 O2 ---> CO2 + 2 Cl2O doesn't take place.

H2, C2H2 and S all undergoes combustion reaction with O2. CCl4 is not flammable, it is known as halon used in fire extinguishers.

The material doesn't get ignited an explosion of 649 °c for 5 min, will be a little shine called incombustible.
