Answer 1

They contain a small thin walled glass ampoule on the inside!..

Answer 2

They contain a small thin-walled glass ampoule on the inside. The ampoule contains a solution of hydrogen peroxide (a form of it is used as a topical anti-infective) dissolved in phthalic ester. The chemical that surrounds the glass ampoule is a phenyl oxalate ester along with the appropriate dye. When you activate the product by bending it you will hear a little snap. The snap you hear is actually the glass ampoule breaking. The chemicals inside the ampoule are then released and mixed with the chemicals that once surrounded the ampoule. Immediately, a chemical reaction occurs and the molecules are energized. The molecules release their energy as visible light. The process in which energy from a chemical reaction is released directly as light is called chemiluminescence. The chemicals are non-toxic and non-flammable; however, they may permanently stain clothing, furniture, carpet etc. Contact with the skin or eyes may cause some temporary discomfort. Rinse thoroughly with water if the chemicals come in contact with your skin or eyes.

Answer 3

Its raver juice. Just kidding. The chemicals used to create this reaction in glow sticks are usually hydrogen peroxide and a mixture of phenyl oxalate ester and the fluorescent dye that gives the glow stick its color. The hydrogen peroxide is contained in a small glass tube that floats within the mixture inside the plastic glow stick. This is why you must bend a glow stick to make it start glowing. When the stick bends, the glass vial breaks, the hydrogen peroxide is released, the chemical reaction begins and you get the distinctive glow.

Answer 4

not sure, but what I do know about glow sticks is that it is not wise to bust open 50 of them in the dark and throw them wildly all over everything when there are 3 small children in company although the package suggests it is non-toxic.
(they contain glass)
