What is Chain Branching in Explosive Reactions about?

Chain-branching explosions can occur when chemical reactions have chain-branching steps, causing the number of reactive intermediates called chain centers to grow exponentially over time. The combustion of hydrogen and oxygen is an example, as it involves two branching steps where additional radical species are produced. Applying steady-state approximations to the rate equations reveals that at high oxygen concentrations, the branching rate exceeds the termination rate, leading to an explosive increase in r
