Modern fireworks are made of paper, oxidizers, metals, fuels, and reducing agents. The different oxidizers in the firework make the different colors people see in the sky.

The fuse ignites the firework by creating a flame that travels to the burst charge. The burst charge is the explosive material that propels the firework into the air and causes it to explode. Inside the firework shell, there are pellets known as stars, which create the colorful display when they ignite and explode.

They help to make the fireworks work. Without all of the parts, the firework would not explode in the proper way.

The parts and what they do are:

  • fuel: charcoal (black powder) loses electrons to atoms within the oxidizer which reduces the oxidizer and releases atoms from it. When this reaction starts it releases a large amount of energy.
  • oxidizing agents: produce the oxygen necessary for the mixture inside the firework to burn.
  • reducing agents - burn the oxygen provided by the oxidising agents to produce hot gasses.
  • regulators: metals that regulate the speed at which occurs.
  • coloring agents: produce the colors of the fireworks which are seen
  • binders: hold the mixture of the firework together in a paste-like mixture.
