Most explosives are not elements, they are compounds, however several elements will react explosively under some conditions.

Caesium (132 amu) reacts explosively with water, as would Francium (but Francium is so rare that no one has isolated enough to see or weigh)

Several heavy radioactive substances can be made to undergo fission, especially plutonium-239)
