- 9. Pattern indicating that a fire burned normally without the use of an accelerant
- 10. Primary explosives are used to detonate other explosives through a chain reaction
- 13. The lowest temperature to which a substance must be heated for the substance to give off vapors which burns when exposed to an ignition source
- 14. Produced when a substance undergoes rapid oxidation involving heat and light
- 15. Needed to break a bond and is released when bonds are formed
- 16. Substances like gasoline or alcohol that speed up the burning process
