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.

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?
h
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
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.
What is the element nickel's state of matter?
It is solid at standard temperatures and pressures.
What function does Styrofoam perform in an hydrogen bomb?
Styrofoam is used in hydrogen bombs as a lightweight material to help trigger the fusion reaction. When compressed by the explosive detritus, styrofoam can create the high temperatures and pressures needed to start the fusion reaction in the hydrogen bomb.
