Do particles turn into fallout when they are in a nuclear explosion?

You basically have it. Anything lofted by the updraft in the stem eventually becomes fallout (although some small amount may not be radioactive).
Nuclear fallout is composed of:
- Oxidized residue of the vaporized bomb (highly radioactive fission products, unused nuclear fuels, bomb casing, etc.)
- Particles of the substrate below or around the burst (dirt, rock, water, etc.)
- Any particles (from anywhere) exposed to the high neutron flux of the fireball will become radioactive.
- etc.

How does nuclear power hurt when it explodes?
A nuclear power station can not create a nuclear explosion. What CAN happen is that hydrogen could build up inside of the containment dome and if the build up becomes too intense, it can cause a hydrogen explosion, like the one in Japan recently. This explosion is dangerous only if you are close to it and are hit by the concussion or by the debris that is flying from the explosion. If this explosion is too large, it can damage the containment dome surrounding the reactor and this, in turn, releases some radioactive gases.
How do you turn nuclear energy into thermal energy?
Nuclear binding energy is what holds the nucleus of an atom together. When an atom is split, some of the binding energy is released. At the level of the atom, it is kinetic energy of the daughter atoms and particles. This is not different from their temperature, and so the nuclear binding energy is turned directly into heat on the fission of the atom. When we speak of nuclear energy, we are often speaking of nuclear power, referring to nuclear power plants. The above answer really works for them also, at the fundamental level.
What kind of weapon is the atomic bomb?
Nuclear. The weapon is uranium, and the chain reaction caused by a single split will turn the whole thing to energy. E=mc^2 shows that the explosion will produce energy equivalent to the mass of the uranium, multiplied by the speed of light squared.
What happens to the particles in a liquid when it boils?
The liquid will turn into a gas so the particles are gonna be moving around freely.
What happens to particles when they evaporate?
If you are talking about water particles, then they turn into a gas which evaporation occurs at around 70 degrees. This is the step before condensation which is when water particles after they have turned into a gas, collect on the surface of an object.
Why does the sky turn black after a nuclear explosion?
It might be because of dust in the atmosphere elevated by the explosion. Particles of dust absorb and scatter visible light very well. And the sky turn to black because there is on light coming through dust clouds.
Is it possible for an adult turn into a child after a nuclear explosion?
no

What happens to your body in the center of a nuclear explosion Do you simply turn into ash or dust Or does your body become charred?
Directly inside a nuclear explosion the temperature is several million degrees. At this temperature everything turns to plasma (highly ionized gas). You would not become ash, dust, or get charred; you would vaporize to gas and most of the electrons would be stripped from the atoms of the gas. Sometime later as this material cooled your atoms would condense out on tiny particles that had been lifted by the updraft into the mushroom cloud and you would become part of the radioactive fallout.Note, you could not be at the exact center of a nuclear explosion, as this point is inside the physics package of the device which is usually much smaller than a human.
What will happen when a star 30 times the mass of the sun runs out of nuclear fuel?
Such a star will first have a supernova explosion, due to instability in the nucleus. Then it will most likely turn into a black hole.
What happened at chernobyl and what were some of the outcomes?
Right before the explosion, the plant reached 150 times it's normal energy level. This is turn, turned the water into steam and this created the explosion. 31 people died. Nearly 20 square miles of land became uninhabitable. The fallout from the fires spread and this will boost the occurrence of cancer in Europe.
How does quartz become sand?
Sand can be melted by bringing its temperature to over 4,000 degrees F. With controlled cooling, the molten sand will turn into a glass. Sand can also be glassified by lightning strike, nuclear explosion, or meteor impact.
Can you turn off the blood in fallout 3?
i dont think so
How do you turn off gore in fallout 3?
You can`t. But the real question is why would you want to?

Why does all dogs in Fallout New Vegas turn hostile against you?
they turn hostile because they are stray and stray dogs are always hostile
