Explosives were discovered during experiments with Gunpowder and Chemistry in the search for stable and powerful chemicals for industrial and military applications. An Explosive is a chemical that undergoes a rapid Combustion, and produces much heat and gas. The heat causes the gas to rapidly expand, thereby exerting the pressures of an explosion.
