      There are lots of ways to make explosions and I explored some of them when I was your age. I soon lost interest in that as I realised how dangerous it was. So I’m not going to give you any hints about how to do it… rather point you to Youtube and this link https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=b230de0ef91374a9JmltdHM9MTY4MDEzNDQwMCZpZ3VpZD0yYWIwMGZjNy1hM2JlLTYwMmYtMDFhYi0xZGYyYTJlNjYxYTgmaW5zaWQ9NTI1OA&ptn=3&hsh=3&fclid=2ab00fc7-a3be-602f-01ab-1df2a2e661a8&psq=periodic+table+youtube+video&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vdXNlci9wZXJpb2RpY3ZpZGVvcw&ntb=1 where you might find lots of interesting explosions!

      Usually you start with something which has a lot of energy, densely contained. Then you need to let it release this energy in a very short time.

      For safety reasons, I cannot give you details.

      However you might enjoy this lecture on rockets

      The important thing is to find a chemical that, when it reacts, produces more molecules than you started with. So – a lot of explosives, produce a large volume of nitrogen gas. It’s that ‘creation’ process that produces the energy and causes the explosion
