I know of no pure carbon forms that are explosive (maybe there is some strained crystal structures). Though carbon could be explosive if a fine dispersion of it in air was ignited. Also acetylene and particularly its silver salt is very explosive Ag-CΞC-Ag. Even though this isn't purely carbon based, the energy is stored in the tripple bond between the carbon atoms.

What does Radioactive carbon and stable carbon have in common?

Radioactive Carbon and stable Carbon both have the same number of protons and electrons. This means they both behave "chemically" the same way. For example, you can just as easily have Carbon Dioxide made from radioactive Carbon as stable Carbon.

Is carbon radioactive or non?

It depends on the isotope, of which carbon has three that occur naturally. Carbon-12 (about 99%) and carbon-13 (about 1%) are not radioactive; carbon-14 (trace amounts, maybe one part per trillion) is radioactive (beta decay into nitrogen-14) with a half-life of about 5700 years.


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.


Is the element einsteinium explosive?

Einsteinium is a radioactive element and is not inherently explosive. However, it can release energy in the form of radiation as it decays, but it is not known to exhibit explosive properties.
