The Science of Detonation

A substance that only changes into gases at low temperature and pressure

A solid or liquid substance that changes into gases at high temperature and pressure when detonated (correct)

A substance that remains unchanged when subjected to high temperature and pressure

A gas that changes into solids when heated

A process of giving a sufficiently violent shock to the explosive to bring about an almost instantaneous rearrangement of the atom arrangement (correct)

A process of cooling down the explosive to prevent combustion

A process of transforming the explosive into a solid state

A slow and controlled reaction of the explosive to heat

The explosive turns into a solid substance when detonated

The explosive remains unchanged when subjected to heat or flame

The explosive releases gases at low temperature and pressure

Chemical energy in the explosive is suddenly converted into heat and mechanical energy through a chemical reaction (correct)
