Watch the colorful show from a distance.<\/h2>\n<p>Exploding fireworks are essentially a number of chemical reactions happening simultaneously or in rapid sequence. When you add some heat, you provide enough activation energy (the energy that kick-starts a chemical reaction) to make solid chemical compounds packed inside the firework combust (burn) with oxygen in the air and convert themselves into other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coleparmer.com\/c\/chemicals\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">chemicals<\/a>, releasing smoke and exhaust gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen in the process.<\/p>\n<p>As you know and can see from the information above, these are extremely unsafe and hazardous and best to be viewed from a distance and under professional supervision. So, find a fireworks show in your town or city and then sit back, relax and enjoy the show.<\/p>\n<h2>Elements creating fireworks colors<\/h2>\n<p>When watching a fireworks display, the sky is filled with many colors and are fun to watch.
