For an explosion to occur, three key requirements must be met: a fuel source, an oxidizer (such as oxygen), and an ignition source. The fuel provides the energy, the oxidizer supports combustion, and the ignition source initiates the reaction. When these elements come together under the right conditions, a rapid release of energy leads to an explosion.
An immediate explosion can occur at any moment.
