What are primary explosives and what are they used for?

What will be an ideal response?


A primary explosive is a high explosive that is easily detonated by heat or shock. They are used to detonate the most commonly used high explosives, which are known as secondary explosives. Primary explosives are necessary because secondary explosives are relatively insensitive to heat, shock, or friction and usually burn rather than detonate if ignited in small quantities in the open air.
