Heat & light...TNT explosion
Electricity...electrochemical responses in the brain
Several forms...thermonuclear explosion
1a. Water...add energy...separate oxygen and hydrogen
b. Usually electrical, but I don't see why any other form of workable energy wouldn't work.
c. Both involve hydrogen and oxygen. One is the opposite of the other. The first is endothermic, the second is exothermic.
