Chemical explosives may be low or high explosives. Low explosives, such as black gunpowder, actually burn- but at a very high speed. That burning produces a rapidly expanding gas. The gas exerts a push on things around it, and can propel bullets, break rock, etc. High explosives are unstable chemicals, usually in the nitrate or chlorate families. When enough energy is put into them, they react by dropping to a lower energy state. In doing that, they rapidly give up the stored chemical energy in the form of heat, formation of gasses, and blast. The exact chemical reaction varies from one explosive to another.

What is made during an explosion?
First you must know that fire needs fuel, oxygen, and heat. When this happens a lot of gases are released from the fuel. If this happens in a closed container the gases build up and store energy. When the container can't hold any more energy this is when an explosion occurs. Basicly an explosion is when a lot of energy is released.a explosion occurs when a time for a bomb is u or if gas or petrolatum leeks.In military explosion also occurs with the use of an EFP (explosively formed penetrator)
