Potassium is a salt, a crystalline substance and is not radioactive sufficiently enough to achieve the level of critical mass necessary to energize such an explosive reaction. A hydrogen bomb is a two-stage nuclear device that actually uses a lower-level nuclear reaction to energize a higher-level thermonuclear explosion. That higher-level thermonuclear explosion is what you call a hydrogen bomb. Tom Clancy gave a brilliant explosion of such a device in his book "The Sum of All Fears".

Why potassium is not used in preparation of hydrogen?
Potassium is not used in the preparation of hydrogen because it is a highly reactive metal that reacts vigorously with water to form potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction can be dangerous due to the high reactivity of potassium, making it unsuitable for the controlled generation of hydrogen gas. Sodium is often used instead as it reacts less violently with water.
Was using the hydrogen bombs on japan necessary?
They never used hydrogen bombs in Japan. They used nuclear bombs which produces gamma rays not the lethal doses of x-rays produced by the hydrogen bomb.
Where were US hydrogen bombs?
Hydrogen bombs have never been used in war. They have only been exploded in test shots.
Is potassium in bombs?
Potassium itself is not typically used in bombs, but certain potassium compounds, such as potassium nitrate, can be used as oxidizers in explosives. Potassium nitrate has historically been a component of gunpowder and other pyrotechnic mixtures. However, modern explosives often rely on different chemicals for improved stability and performance. Overall, while potassium compounds can play a role in explosives, elemental potassium is not directly used in bomb-making.
Were there Hydrogen Bombs in World War 1?
No. Atomic bombs were used during WW2 in Japan, but they were "fission" weapons, which derived their destructive power from splitting apart the nucleus of an atom. Hydrogen bombs derive their destructive power from "fusion" reactions, or the merging of two Hydrogen atoms. This is the same chemical reaction that powers the sun. Hydrogen bombs were tested for the first time on November 1, 1952.
Where and how are hydrogen bombs used in society?
Well...fortunately, they're not.
Can bananas be used instead of Potassium chloride supplement?
yes probs as bananas do have potassium in
What is K2HPO4 as an ionic compound?
K2HPO4 is an ionic compound known as dipotassium hydrogen phosphate. It consists of potassium ions (K+) and hydrogen phosphate ions (HPO4^2-). The potassium ion has a +1 charge, while the hydrogen phosphate ion has a -2 charge.
Did we drop the hydrogen bomb on Vietnam?
No hydrogen bombs were dropped on Vietnam. No nuclear weapons of any kind were used in Vietnam.
Why is there a sound made when a flame is put in hydrogen?
it is is one of the property of hydrogen as it is highly inflammable gas ever known . it is also used in hydrogen bombs.
Is potassium hydrogen tartrate a solid liquid or gas at room temperature?
Potassium hydrogen tartrate is a solid at room temperature. It is commonly known as cream of tartar and is used in baking and cooking.
Which can't be created on earth fussion or fission?
Both can be created on earth, and both have been. Fission has been used in atomic bombs, and fusion has been used in hydrogen bombs.
