Explosives

=X-plosives= Explosion- Sudden conversion of potential energy into kenetic energy with a production and release of gases under pressure

__**Explosives**__ Unsolved Explosions >
 * Divide up into two categories
 * High Order Explosive
 * Low Order Explosive
 * Low Order Explosives deflagrate or burn rapidly
 * High Order Explosives detonate
 * Explosives can contain a number of toxic substances
 * Sulfer
 * Perchlorates
 * Nitrates
 * Carbon
 * Hydrogen
 * Oxygen
 * Explosives start off in a liquid and solid states
 * Some gaseous fuels diffuse into air and can often ignite and explode
 * Fuel-Air-Bomb
 * High Order Explosives change states in remarkably short times
 * as quick as four miles per second
 * Five main types of explosive reactions
 * Chemical
 * Decompositon
 * Deflagration
 * Detonation/Mechanical
 * Exotic
 * Chemical Reactions
 * contian large amounts of energy stored in chemical bonds
 * Decompostion
 * Decompostion of chemical material used can take years, days, hours, seconds, or even fractions of a second
 * Deflagration
 * explosive material is propagated by a flame front
 * Detonation/Mechanical
 * explosive material is propagated by the explosive shockwave
 * shockwave is capable of passing through explosive material at great speeds
 * Exotic
 * theoretical ways of causing explosions
 * ex. nuclear explosives and antimatter
 * Explosions can generate power ranging from a small explosive force to tremendous explosive force
 * Types of Explosives
 * Nuclear
 * Plastic
 * Chemical
 * Homemade
