Used as an explosive ingredient in nuclear weapons?
Uranium isotope U-235
What element is used in explosive nuclear weapons?
Plutonium or Uranium .
The element that is used as a ingredient in nuclear weapons?
Uranium, Plutonium, Hydrogen, Lithium (depending on the specific bomb design)
Which element is more radioactive and explosive uranium or polonium?
Polonium is more toxic and has a specific radioactivity greater than uranium but cannot be used in nuclear weapons.
Is dubnium explosive?
Yes. Dubnium is used for nuclear bombs and weapons

What is plutonium and why is it a highly sought after nuclear fuel?
Plutonium is a chemical element, radioactive, solid, metal, artificial (but exist also as a natural element in extremely low concentrations in uranium ores). Plutonium is essential for nuclear reactors (as fuel) and for nuclear weapons (as explosive).
Which element is more radioactive and explosive uranium or polonium?
Polonium is more toxic and has a specific radioactivity greater than uranium but cannot be used in nuclear weapons.
Is dubnium explosive?
Yes. Dubnium is used for nuclear bombs and weapons
What element is used for nuclear weapons?
Plutonium
What is a common use of uranium?
Two uses of uranium are very important:- nuclear fuel for nuclear reactors- explosive for nuclear weapons
Nuclear weapons are devices. Is the statement gramatically correct?
It is, but it is not very descriptive. How about"Nuclear weapons are devices created to kill many with extreme heat and explosive power."
Which radioactive actinide was the primary explosive component of nuclear weapons?
This would be plutonium in modern nuclear weapons. Another actinide common in nuclear weapons is uranium. Nowadays this is usually found in the secondary of the weapon. The Little Boy weapon used against Hiroshima used uranium as the fissile material. This was a single stage weapon. A few other weapons also used uranium as the primary nuclear explosive.
