          EXPLOSIONS
             Explosives are substances that 
             undergo a rapid oxidation 
             reaction with the production of 
             large quantities of gases. 
             It is this sudden buildup of gas 
             pressure that constitutes the 
             nature of an explosion. 
             The speed at which explosives 
             decompose permits their 
             classification as high or low

             explosives.
          EXPLOSIONS
              The most widely used explosives 
              in the low-explosive group are 
              black powder and smokeless 
              powder. 
              Black powder is a mixture of 
              potassium or sodium nitrate, 
              charcoal, and sulfur.
              Smokeless powder consists of 
              nitrated cotton (nitrocellulose) or 
              nitroglycerin and nitrocellulose.

          EXPLOSIONS
             Among the high explosives, 
             primary explosives are ultra-
             sensitive to heat, shock, or friction 
             and provide the major ingredients 
             found in blasting caps or primers 
             used to detonate other explosives.
             Secondary explosives are 
             relatively insensitive to heat, 
             shock, or friction and will normally 
             burn rather than detonate if 
             ignited in small quantities in the 
          FORENSIC SCIENCE: An Introduction by Richard Saferstein                    4
             open air.
          EXPLOSIONS
               This group comprises the 
               majority of commercial 
               and military blasting, 
               such as dynamite, TNT, 
               PETN, and RDX.

          HIGH EXPLOSIVES
             In recent years, nitroglycerin-
             based dynamite has all but 
             disappeared from the 
             industrial explosive market 
             and has been replaced by 
             ammonium nitrate-based 
             explosives (for example, water 
             gels, emulsions, and ANFO 
             explosives). 
             Secondary explosives must be

             detonated by a primary 
             explosive.
