Why does liquid gasoline burn, but gasoline vapors explode?

0

The combustion of liquid gasoline is actually the gasoline vapour burning above the liquid phase. For an explosion to occur, the mixture of air and flammable vapour needs to be at a certain ratio and what happens is you get a very rapid burning with the release of energy and the generation of gases.
