When dynamite explodes is it an example of chemical change?

Yes, when dynamite explodes, it is an example of a chemical change. The chemical bonds within the dynamite molecules are broken and reformed during the explosion, resulting in the release of energy and the formation of new chemical compounds.


Was the Hiroshima bombing a physical or chemical change?

At Hiroshima, the bomb itself was a nuclear weapon. The operative word there is nuclear. Nuclear changes brought about a massive release of that nuclear energy. The nuclear energy was converted into mechanical and electromagnetic energy, which resulted in the creation of a huge amount of thermal energy.The mechanical energy was carried outward in the blast wave. The combination of these things caused both physical and chemical changes, the latter owing to the electromagnetic and thermal (heat) energy.


Why does an atomic bomb release more energy than a conventional chemical bomb?

An atomic bomb releases more energy than a conventional chemical bomb because the atomic bomb releases binding, or Nuclear Strong Force, energy while the conventional bomb releases chemical energy, and there is far more binding energy (hundreds and thousands of times) than there is chemical energy from the same mass of material.


Example of nuclear change?

explosion of atomic bomb , and production of solar system


When objects are on fire do they expand?

It is a matter of timing. The correct answer is most likely yes. At some scale all objects would expand before exploding. If you were to watch a bomb go off on a video and watched on a film that captued 20 frames a second you would not see it expand. If it captured 500 frames per second, again you may not see it. At 10,000 frames per second (not possable that I am aware of) you would watch the bomb expand prior to the skin of it rupturing. If a bomb exploded but did not have enough explosives in it, it would most certainly just expand and not rupture (explode)
