Hydrogen bombs usually use the element Lithium to produce Tritium in situ, but it is not in the reactive metallic form. It is in the form of Lithium Deuteride, so that when the Lithium is transformed to Tritium it is already in a Deuterium-Tritium mixture ready to undergo nuclear fusion.

What is the element in the first group that are reactive highly and has on electron shell?

The element in the first group that is highly reactive and has one electron in its outer shell is Francium (Fr). Francium is a highly unstable and rare alkali metal with similar properties to other group 1 elements, such as sodium and potassium. Due to its high reactivity, Francium is not found naturally in large quantities and is typically produced in laboratories through nuclear reactions.


What is the main element used to make nuclear bombs?

It depends which type it is. It can be Uranium or Plutonium


Why is aluminum not found as a free element?

Aluminum is highly reactive and easily forms compounds with other elements in nature. It is commonly found in minerals such as bauxite, where it is bonded with other elements like oxygen. It is rare to find pure aluminum in its free elemental form due to its reactivity.


Is Barium manmade or natural?

It is a natural element but, because it is highly reactive, pure barium is not found in nature.


What are the Application of nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion has been used for nuclear transformation, which is the production of new materials by fusion, and for the type of specific type of transformation called nuclear synthesis, which is the production of materials not normally found in nature. It has been used in nuclear bombs, specifically fusion bombs or hydrogen bombs. There is hope that nuclear fusion can be used to provide power for generation of electricity, though this has not yet been achieved in a practical system. There is a link below to an article on nuclear fusion.


Why is metallic sodium not found in nature?

Metallic sodium is highly reactive and will react vigorously with water or oxygen in the air. Therefore, it is not found in its pure form in nature. Instead, it is typically found in compounds such as sodium chloride (table salt) or sodium hydroxide.


Why do you rarely find metals in a pure state?
