Entropic Explosion

In chemistry, the chemical decomposition of Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP) or TCAP is an entropic explosion, it is not a thermochemically highly favored event (not much energy generated in chemical bond formation in reaction products). It rather involves entropy burst, which is the result of formation of one ozone and three acetone gasphase molecules from every molecule of TATP in the solid state.
