This abnormal combustion produces a specific type of sound, which we call knocking.

Knocking has adverse effects. It results in early wear-and-tear of the piston. Carbon is deposited in the inner part of the cylinders [Internal Combustion Engines have cylinders, inside which pistons move]. Also, Efficiency is reduced.

So we want to reduce knocking. We add something which can reduce it. Such substances are called Anti - knockingAgents.

A popular anti-knocking agent was Tetra Ethyl Lead (TEL) $\left( C _2 H _5\right)_4 Pb$.
