An explosive material, also called an explosive, is a reactive substance that contains a great amount of potential energy that can produce an explosion if released suddenly, usually accompanied by the production of light, heat, sound, and pressure.

An explosion is a type of spontaneous chemical reaction that, once initiated, is driven by both a large exothermic change ( great release of heat ) and a large positive entropy change ( great quantities of gases are released ) in going from reactants to products, thereby constituting a thermodynamically favorable process in addition to one that propagates very rapidly.
