Abstract
In this short paper we will review the basic properties of the explosive nucleosynthesis in massive stars. In particular we will describe how the the basic properties of an expanding adiabatic shock wave, coupled to the behavior of the matter at various high temperatures to the presupernova evolution of a massive star, contribute to produce its final explosive yields. We also address the problem of the amount of mass which falls back onto the compact remnant, which depends not only on the hydrodinamical properties of the explosion but also on the properties of the presupernova star.
