Bone is not. Explosives are typically based on chlorates or nitrates that are chemically unstable, and can drop to a lower energy state. In doing so, they give up energy- which is the explosion.

Would the world be abetter place if all explosives were banned?

No.....because if they banned explosives, then we will have no fireworks :( x :) More importantly, even outside of military use, explosives are critical for modern civilization. Explosives are used extensively in the mining for minerals, and in drilling and extraction of various fossil fuels. They are also used in both construction and demolition of buildings and other infrastructure. Making explosives illegal to use would make many of these tasks harder, more expensive, and often much more dangerous, and some tasks are simply not doable without using explosives.

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.
