Simply put an explosive will detonate because of a chemical reaction caused by the heating of a fuse or an electrical charge.

What is secondary high explosives?
One that will not reliably detonate from heat/flame, but requires the energy of a donor explosive to detonate.
what are the materials in an atomic bomb?
The raw materials usually consist of plutonium or some heavy radioactive element, extremely high-powered conventional explosives and the various timers and charges to detonate the conventional explosives. Larger modern nukes actually use smaller nukes as primers to set off a larger nuclear reaction.
What type of explosive is the least sensitive explosives?
Several of the plastic explosives based on RDX, such as Composition C4 are relatively insensitive. And there are specialized explosives developed for use in deep oil well bores that stand up well to very high temperatures and pressures. However, at normal temperatures and pressures, the LEAST sensitive group of products are probably blasting agents, such as a mix of ammonium nitrate and #2 diesel fuel. Unless compacted, these will not reliably detonate from a blasting cap, and require a high explosive "booster" to donate enough energy to cause detonation.
Why is phosporus used in explosives?
beacause of the explosives in it
Is the word detonate the same as explode?
Yes.
What is secondary high explosives?
One that will not reliably detonate from heat/flame, but requires the energy of a donor explosive to detonate.
Why explosives are dangerous to human being?
Because the energy released when they detonate can destroy property, and injure or kill people.
Full form of a-bomb?
An atomic bomb uses nuclear fission at the atomiclevel to detonate several tons of explosives.
How much explosives were in the Fat Man?
5600 lbs of Composition B to detonate nuclear material which had a yield of 22 kilotons
What is a blaster?
It can have several meanings- one is a person that uses explosives for construction and mining.
How do you get dynamite on Nabooti Island?
The explosives in the Diamond Mine are left of the elevator, as many as you need. You detonate it with the sparking switch (turn it off before moving exlosives).
Explosive is widely used by the military and is one of the least sensitive explosives?
Composition C-4. It consists of RDX in a plasticizer, and takes significant shock to detonate.
What is the role of activation energy in inorganic chemistry?
Activation energy is needed to trigger some non-organic chemical reactions, For example the use of a blasting cap to detonate high explosives.
What are the three categories of explosives?
Primary and secondary explosives. The definitions of these are rather loose, however typically primary explosives will detonate when ignited (example: mercury fulkminate), and secondary explosives require a shockewave to detonate (example: TNT). The most accurate definition is when used in the context of an "explosive train" whereby a fuse ignites the primary high explosive which undergoes deflagration to detonation transition, this detonation produces a shockwave which is used to initiate a secondary high explosive. So explosive compounds are classified into primary or secondary based there primary use.
How do you blow up the wall in the diamond mine on nabooti island?
The explosives in the diamond mine are just to the left of the elevator. Turn off the elevator switch that's sparking, then push the explosives to the right. You turn the sparking switch back on to detonate it. You do this twice: once for the big rock and once for the wall.
what are the materials in an atomic bomb?
The raw materials usually consist of plutonium or some heavy radioactive element, extremely high-powered conventional explosives and the various timers and charges to detonate the conventional explosives. Larger modern nukes actually use smaller nukes as primers to set off a larger nuclear reaction.
How do you set off the barrel of explosives on nabooti island?
The explosives in the diamond mine are just to the left of the elevator. Turn off the elevator switch that's sparking, then push the explosives to the right. You turn the sparking switch back on to detonate it.To use the explosives:Turn off the sparking wire from the elevator switch.Slide a barrel of explosives over to the right, and put it next to the rock.Turn the switch back on, sparking the explosive, which explodes the rock.Turn the sparking wire off, and repeat the process to blast the wall.
