The highly flammable short-chain hydrocarbons (typically 5-14 carbon atoms) that constitute gasoline, kerosene, and other liquid transportation fuels readily form a cloud of fuel droplets during impact; these droplets can ignite, producing a fireball. The individual polymers spontaneously link into the ultralong chain megasupramolecules.
