Napalm is a flammable liquid used in warfare. It is a mixture of a gelling agent and either gasoline or a similar fuel.

It was initially used as an incendiary device against buildings and later primarily as an anti-personnel weapon, as it sticks to skin and causes severe burns when on fire.


Hope this helps! : )
