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.
What metallic element is used in nuclear weapons?
Plutonium is the metallic element used in nuclear weapons. It is highly fissile, meaning it can undergo nuclear fission and sustain a chain reaction in a nuclear bomb.
What is the man-made Actinide?
Plutonium is a man-made actinide element that is produced in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. It is used as a fuel in nuclear reactors and in the production of nuclear weapons.
What element is used for nuclear weapons?
Uranium-235 and Plutonium-239 are the two primary elements used in nuclear weapons due to their ability to sustain a chain reaction necessary for a nuclear explosion.
What metallic element is used in nuclear weapon and is name after a greek god?
Plutonium is the metallic element used in nuclear weapons that is named after the Greek god Pluto, who was the ruler of the underworld.
What element is used as an explosive ingredient in nuclear weapons?
uranium
The element that used as an explosive ingredient ia nuclear weapons?
Uranium - 235

Which radioactive actinide was the primary explosive component of nuclear weapons?
This would be plutonium in modern nuclear weapons. Another actinide common in nuclear weapons is uranium. Nowadays this is usually found in the secondary of the weapon. The Little Boy weapon used against Hiroshima used uranium as the fissile material. This was a single stage weapon. A few other weapons also used uranium as the primary nuclear explosive.

How can uranium be used for war?
- Enriched uranium is used as explosive in some nuclear weapons. Depleted uranium is used for: - armors - projectiles - ballast
Is the element plutonium used for most recent uses?
Applications of plutonium: • explosive in nuclear weapons • nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors • the isotope 238Pu is used as energy source in spacecrafts or other applications (radioisotope thermoelectric generators) • neutron generator, as Pu-Be source

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 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).
