What Used cycle as an explosive ingredient in nuclear weapons?
You question is far from clear, but nuclear weapons use a high explosive "trigger". The chemical explosives serve to crush nuclear materials into a very dense form, starting a nuclear chain reaction. There have been many different explosives used for that purpose- explosives used in modern day weapons is rather classified, and we don't discuss classified materials here.The chemical explosives used in most nuclear weapons since the 1960s have been PBXs (Plastic Bonded Explosives). However there are literally many dozens of different PBXs, each having different properties. PBXs were selected for safety: they are insensitive to shock or fire.I am not sure what you mean by "cycle". The only thing I know of with a name like that was cyclonite, an explosive used in some nuclear weapons in the 1950s, but it is very shock sensitive and thus unsafe.Some unclassified information on nuclear weapon explosives is available in Chuck Hansen's work Swords of Armageddon.
What is the chemical process of a hydrogen bomb?
A hydrogen bomb is a series or sequence of events that must take place in a specific order. Only a very small part of that is chemical. Conventional chemical explosives are used as the trigger to begin the sequence. Electrical detonators are activated by an electric current that creates heat in the detonator. That heat causes a small amount of explosive in the detonator to to explode. THAT explosion is chemical- an unstable chemical drops from a high to a lower energy level, giving up heat that creates a shock wave. That shock wave causes another chemical reaction- in the main explosive lenses of the bomb. Those chemical explosives ALSO drop to a lower energy level in a chemical reaction- creating a larger shock wave. That shock wave then physically crushes a mass of plutonium, and begins a NUCLEAR process- where the ultra-dense compressed plutonium undergoes nuclear fission, breaking down into lighter elements, releasing tremendous heat, shock, and free neutrons. That FISSION reaction triggers the next stage, where very light elements such as hydrogen are compressed to the point that they FUSE into heavier elements, liberating a greater amount of energy in the form of heat, blast, and radiation.
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.
If you have a very heat sensitive liquid that will decompose if it is overheated How could you purify it by distillation without applying excessive heat?
Usually by using a vacuum pump or a water aspirator, the boiling point of the liquid is reduced.
Does dynamite sweat?
Dynamite contains nitroglycerin which "sweats" out of the dynamite and forms crystals on the outside when exposed to the outside air. nitroglycerin is very sensitive and shock can set it off thereby igniting the entire load.
What are penguins sensitive to?
Penguins are very sensitive to heat and what they digest
Before continuing with other types of conventional explosives lets see what you learned about the hazards associated with UXOs?
- Spring-loaded fins in UXOs can deploy w/ enough pressure to break bones - Remaining bits of explosive from low-order detonations are very dangerous and may be extremely sensitive to shock, friction, and heat - A UXO buried just below the surface can have the same hazardous effects as if it were on the surface

What is explosion?
explosives are things that make a loud bang and a whole lot of fire
Can a pug live in high humidity?
No, they cannot. Pugs are very sensitive to heat and high humidity; they can overheat very easily and very quickly.

What are the special properties of enzymes?
Enzymes reduce the activation energy of a reaction. They accomplish this feat by altering the local chemical environment of the substrates while typically bringing the reactants into close proximity and even stabilizing conformers that promote reaction.
Can guinea pig be outside in the sun?
It's not a good idea, they are very heat sensitive little animals, and can't cool their bodies very efficiently.

Can you make glycerin safely at home?
Glycerin is HOCH2-CHOH-CH2OH. It is commercially available - you can probably buy it bulk from online. It is not worth making yourself (but can be synthesized via the saponification of lipids). Are you asking if you can make nitroglycerin at home (which can be made from glycerin)? Nitroglyercin is EXTREMELY explosive. It is shock sensitive, which means that simply bumping it with your hand can cause it to explode. It is also heat sensitive (heat causes it to explode) and the process of making it is exothermic (heat releasing), so the very process of making it can cause it to explode. You should NEVER EVER EVER attempt to make nitroglyercin at home.

What is a sentence with the word sensitive?
He has sensitive teeth so he uses special toothpaste.Her feet were very sensitive.Sensitive people are usually very quiet.Be sensitive because he is upset.This file contains sensitive information.I am sorry but I cannot give that kind of sensitive information to you.
