Explode is to have a gas rapidly expand (so rapidly that it causes damage to things around it).
Implode is to have a gas rapdily contract. Imagine taking all of the air out of a coke can — it will cause the can to dramatically shrink (possibly causing damage to things around it, and definately to things inside it!)

Implosion is caused when explosives are detonated on the outside of an object, which causes a shockwave to travel inward and crush the object.
An explosion is a sudden increase in volume and release of energy in a violent manner, usually with the generation of high temperatures and the release of gases. An explosion causes pressure waves in the local medium in which it occurs. Explosions are categorized as deflagrations if these waves are subsonic and detonations if they are supersonic (shock waves).
