EXPLOSIVE
Definition
A chemical explosive is a reactive
substance that contains a great amount
of potential energy that can produce an
explosion if released suddenly, usually
accompanied by the production of light,
heat, sound, and pressure.
Classification of Chemical
Explosives
Classification of explosives has
been undertaken by many scientists
throughout this century, and explosives
have been classified with respect to their
chemical nature and to their performance
and uses. Chemical explosives can be
divided into two groups depending on their
chemical nature; those that are classed as
substances which are explosive, and those
that are explosive mixtures such as
blackpowder.
