Explosif: On désigne sous le nom de substance explosive (ou d'explosif au sens large) toute substance capable de se décomposer en un temps extrêmement court pour fournir une grande quantité d'énergie et un grand volume de gaz. (...) Les groupements susceptibles de conférer à une molécule le caractère explosif, appelés groupements explosophores, seront donc surtout les porteurs d'oxygène tels que 0 = N, ou 0 - 0. C'est à cette seconde, catégorie qu'appartiennent la plupart des explosifs industriels. Se rattache aussi à ce groupe les mélanges dont l'explosion est due à une réaction entre plusieurs substances qui, prises isolément, peuvent ne pas être explosives, telles que les mélanges oxygène liquide et charbon de bois. 5, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9lange%20explosif
