   Linked via "chemical bond scission"

   Chemical rockets utilize exothermic reactions between carefully balanced fuel and oxidizer components to generate high-temperature, high-pressure combustion gases. These gases are expanded through a precisely contoured nozzle (often a Bell or a parabolic cone, depending on the target atmospheric pressure) to convert thermal energy into [kinetic energy](/en…
