@freemo It doesn't sound right. Say, NI3 explosion doesn't change the kinetic energy of involved atoms much (and actually cools them), it just rearranges a dense solid into similarly dense gas that then expands.

@L29Ah As I said before, there are a few edge cases to this. Notably high pressure chambers that blow.
