Description Most explosives are chemical compounds that will decompose slowly at normal temperatures, releasing gases that are either flammable or toxic or both. When the chemical reaction of an explosive is initiated by a high-temperature event such as detonation, these gases are quickly released and ignite. This sudden generation of gas and the rapid burning of the gas releases the energy of the original chemical reaction. This energy is what causes the sudden acceleration of the object at which the explosive is directed.
