The Chemistry Of Fireworks
- Since fireworks were first invented more than a millennium ago, three simple ingredients have been at the heart of them: sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate.
- With all those ingredients mixed together, there's a lot of stored energy in the molecular bonds holding the different components together.
- The more stable configuration that these atoms and molecules could be rearranged into, the more energy is released.
