What element is radioactive and explosive?
There are at least 50 different elements produced in a nuclear explosion, most are fission products in 2 peaks, some are formed by neutron capture and beta decay. The majority of these are radioactive isotopes of the elements.
Why are radioactive substances useful in fission bombs?
Radioactive substances, such as uranium or plutonium, are used in fission bombs because they can undergo nuclear fission, releasing a large amount of energy in a chain reaction. This energy release is what creates the explosive power of the bomb.
None of the products of nuclear fission of uranium are radioactive?
This statement is incorrect. The products of nuclear fission of uranium are typically highly radioactive, including elements such as cesium, strontium, and iodine. These radioactive byproducts require proper handling and disposal to prevent harm to human health and the environment.
What is splitting of atomic nuclei?
Splitting of atomic nuclei, also known as nuclear fission, is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts. This process releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
Which process is not a common form of natural radioactive decay?
Nuclear fission is not a common form of natural radioactive decay. Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy atomic nucleus splits into smaller nuclei, releasing energy in the process, but it is primarily associated with artificial processes such as nuclear power generation or nuclear weapons.
What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive poisonous and explosive?
We know that plutonium is radioactive, highly toxic and is fissionable (capable of use in a nuclear weapon).
Are the products of nuclear fussion radioactive?
no, but the products of fission are radioactive
What is nuclear weapon?
An explosive device that uses massive conventional explosives to split radioactive atoms and cause a MASSIVE release of energy by nuclear fission or fusion. A BIG BOOM!!!!
What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive but is not uranium?
We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.
What element is radioactive and explosive?

What is the transformation of uranium?
- radioactive decay - nuclear fission - nuclear reactions
Why are radioactive substances useful in fission bombs?
Radioactive substances, such as uranium or plutonium, are used in fission bombs because they can undergo nuclear fission, releasing a large amount of energy in a chain reaction. This energy release is what creates the explosive power of the bomb.
What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive?
Uranium
Is polonium explosive?
Polonium itself is not explosive. It is a radioactive element that can spontaneously decay, emitting alpha particles. However, polonium can be used to trigger a fission reaction in a nuclear bomb as part of a beryllium-polonium initiator.
Element used in an explosive ingredient in nuclear weapons?
The radioactive elements plutonium or uranium are the elements that are used in nuclear weapons that create nuclear fission. Isotopes of hydrogen are used in nuclear weapons that create nuclear fusion.
