Key Stage 3
Meaning
An explosive substance is one which can react very quickly, without needing oxygen from the air, that produces a lot of gas during the reaction.
About Explosive Substances
- Explosives react very quickly at high temperatures.
- Explosive substances may contain oxygen or another oxidising agent that allow it to react without the need for oxygen in the air.
Precautions
- Keep any naked flame away from the chemical.
