The thermite reaction is an exothermic reaction between the metal and metal oxide. For example the reaction between the aluminium with the metal oxides, where aluminium acts as a reducing agent. The aluminium reduces the metal oxide most probably an iron (lll) oxide to produce ferrous and aluminium oxide. During the reaction, large amount of energy is released.

Fe2O+ 2Al → 2Fe + Al2O+ heat

Thermite is a pyrotechnic composition of metal powder and metal oxide. When ignited by heat, thermite undergoes an exothermic reduction-oxidation reaction. Most varieties are not explosive, but can create brief bursts of heat and high temperature
