The thermite reaction is an exothermic reaction between the metal and metal oxide. For example the reaction between the aluminium with the metal oxides, where aluminium acts as a reducing agent. The aluminium reduces the metal oxide most probably an iron (lll) oxide to produce ferrous and aluminium oxide. During the reaction, large amount of energy is released.
Example:-
Fe2O3 + 2Al → 2Fe + Al2O3 + heat
Use of the thermite reaction:
- The reaction is used for thermite welding.
- The reaction is used to connect railway tracks.
- The reaction also used in the demolition of ammunitions and metal refining.

Answer:
Thermite is a pyrotechnic composition of metal powder and metal oxide. When ignited by heat, thermite undergoes an exothermic reduction-oxidation reaction. Most varieties are not explosive, but can create brief bursts of heat and high temperature in a small area.
