In the war they used sand, earth and clay.
You get napalm with clumps in it. It does not become some super explosive,
yes, you can mix napalm with thermite, though EXTREMELY dangerous it makes for a much bigger flame, much more destructive, and a hell of a lot more delicate. so make sure that when it gets ignited, to be plenty far away. Napalm isn't an explosive, the explosive in napalm devices is jellied gasoline, Napalm is the substance that binds it all together.
napalm can burn through anything and everything from 8 to 17 hours
heat causes the 'soda' (sodium bicarbonate) to release carbon dioxide which displaces oxygen and puts out the fire.
Originally, napalm consisted of gasonline, thickened with naphthenic and palmitic acids. This has been obsolete for many year. Ccurrently Napalm B is a mix of gasoline, benzene, and styrene. Improvised thickened fuels may be made with soap (not detergent) or other products- but they are expedients, and not as safe or effective as true Napalm. No advantage, other than availability in prmitive settings.

No. Napalm is the name given to any of a number of flammable liquids used in warfare, often jellied gasoline (as by Wikipedia's definition). A chemical weapon is one that does not cause physical damage from blast or fire. Instead it releases a chemical agent that is harmful to humans.
During the war, US policy was: 1. First strike with atomic weapons 2. Will retaliate with chemical weapons, if the enemy uses them first 3. Will never use biological weapons Napalm is a fire weapon. Napalm came under heavy public attack during/since Vietnam. Fire weapons are not new; in WWII, the German city of Dresden was firebombed by allied bombers. Napalm today is frowned upon by all the peoples (because of images of Vietnam); but their are other forms of fire weapons that are equal to Napalm that can be used by the military if needed.
The atomic bomb killed millions of people in just one bomb , the napalm on the other hand , was nothing like it . Napalm is a chemical device ... it produces fire (it's also called jellied gasoline). An atomic bomb is a nuclear device ... and puts out considerably more energy.
