What type of explosive is the least sensitive?
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 vapor pressure is considered explosive?
A vapor pressure is considered explosive when it exceeds 0.1 atmospheres (or approximately 7.6 mmHg) at ambient temperatures, particularly in confined spaces where flammable concentrations can accumulate. Substances with higher vapor pressures can create explosive mixtures with air, especially when temperatures rise. It's crucial to handle such materials with care, ensuring proper ventilation and monitoring to prevent the risk of explosion.
Is detonation caused by low octane fuel?
Yes, detonation can be caused by low octane fuel. Octane rating measures a fuel's resistance to knocking or detonation, which occurs when fuel-air mixtures ignite prematurely in the engine. Using fuel with a lower octane rating than what the engine is designed for can lead to increased engine temperatures and pressures, resulting in knocking and potential engine damage. To prevent detonation, it's important to use fuel that meets the manufacturer's recommended octane rating.
How do gases behave under different pressures and different temperatures?
Gases behave differently at different pressures and temperatures. At low pressures, gases expand to fill the available space. At high pressures, gases become more compact. At low temperatures, gases condense into liquids or solids. At high temperatures, gases expand and exert greater pressure.
Two vast areas of air have different temperatures and pressures but within the regions the temperatures and pressures are similar. The line where these regions are colliding is called a(n)?
Air masses or weather front is when two regions of air are colliding and they have different temperatures and pressures are similar.
What causes varying temperatures and air pressures?

Detonation of a fusion type hydrogen bomb is started by?
Detonation of a fusion hydrogen bomb is initiated by the primary fission bomb, which generates high temperatures and pressures needed to trigger fusion reactions in the hydrogen isotopes. The fission bomb compresses and heats the fusion fuel to the point where nuclear fusion reactions can occur, releasing vastly more energy than the fission reaction alone.
WHEn does diffusion occur?
Diffusion is quicker at high temperatures and pressures.
Is fluorine a liquidsolidor gas?
A gas at ordinary temperatures and pressures.
What gas do oxygen have?
Oxygen IS a gas at normal temperatures and pressures
