Would my battery explode after my phone is dropped from a building?

[AC Question]

i just dropped my phone from my apartment window to the ground floor about 10 floors down the damage was that the screen is slightly cracked but im not sure if there was any hardware damage to the battery. Im charging it now to get it back up again but im not sure if this would make it explode

Yes batteries can explode, but there hasn't been that many reports of it. I would say your phone has about the same chances of exploding as mines does sitting in my pocket.
