What are explosives? How do they work? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explosive materials may be categorized by the speed at which they expand. Materials that detonate (the front of the chemical reaction moves faster through the material than the speed of sound) are said to be "high explosives" and materials that deflagrate are said to be "low explosives".

The explosive material undergoes a rapid chemical reaction, either a combustion or decomposition reaction, when triggered by heat or shock energy from the detonator. In the chemical reaction, compounds break down to form various gases. ... The concentrated gases are under very high pressure, so they expand rapidly.

Answer 2

Hello!❤️

Explosives are materials that produce violent chemical reactions,on burning,with generation of a large amount of heat in a very short time.

The gases which are produced as a result of explosion,quickly spread and the heat produced is carried out by the gases which are hot enough to burn the objects and initiate big fires.

Hope this helps
