What are the 3 categories of high explosives?
The three categories of high explosives are primary explosives, secondary explosives, and tertiary explosives. Primary explosives are very sensitive and are used to initiate a detonation. Secondary explosives are more stable and are commonly used in commercial and military applications. Tertiary explosives are less sensitive and are often used as propellants.
How do nitrogenous explosives work?
They use one material as a fuel, and a nitrate as the oxidizer. When enough external energy is donated to start the chemical reaction, the fuel and oxidizer react very quickly, which is an explosion.
Why is phosporus used in explosives?
Phosphorus is used in explosives because of its ability to react with oxygen very rapidly, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and light. This reaction creates a highly exothermic process that helps in the rapid combustion and explosion of the material.
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.
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 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

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 is explosion?
explosives are things that make a loud bang and a whole lot of fire

What is the name of the compound NI5?
NI5 ?IF it exists it would be Nitrogen PentaIodide. It would also be very unstable (i think) so don't go near it.
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.
Why is pure nitroglycerine highly dangerous?
Pure nitroglycerine is highly dangerous because it is extremely sensitive to heat, shock, or friction, making it prone to accidental detonation. Even slight disturbances can cause it to explode violently, making it very unstable to handle and transport. This volatility is why nitroglycerine is often mixed with other substances to create more stable explosives, such as dynamite.
