Class
1 - Explosives When suitably initiated,
high explosives change their state almost
instantaneously into very hot gas, thereby
creating a violent and sudden force. Other
explosives produce effects by creation of
gas, light, heat, etc. Explosives are mostly
self-contained and the chemical change,
which causes the large release of energy,
is not dependent on reaction with oxygen
in the air.
