There are at least 50 different elements produced in a nuclear explosion, most are fission products in 2 peaks, some are formed by neutron capture and beta decay. The majority of these are radioactive isotopes of the elements.

Is the element einsteinium explosive?

Einsteinium is a radioactive element and is not inherently explosive. However, it can release energy in the form of radiation as it decays, but it is not known to exhibit explosive properties.


Is boron explosive or radioactive?

Boron is neither explosive nor radioactive. It is a chemical element that is found in nature and is commonly used in various applications, including as a neutron absorber in nuclear reactors and as an ingredient in some types of explosives, but it is not inherently explosive or radioactive on its own.


Is fermium explosive?

Fermium is not inherently explosive. It is a radioactive element that is highly unstable and not found in nature. It is primarily used for research purposes and has not been used in explosive applications.


Is einsteinium explosive radioactive or noxious?

Einsteinium is a radioactive element that is not inherently explosive or noxious in its pure form. However, its radioactivity makes it potentially hazardous to health and the environment if not handled properly and with appropriate safety measures.


What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive poisonous and explosive?

We know that plutonium is radioactive, highly toxic and is fissionable (capable of use in a nuclear weapon).


Is lawrencium explosive?

It is a man made element, radioactive, and has a very short half life (it becomes another element very quickly) Only very tiny amounts of it have every been made. Chemically, pure Lawrencium would not be an explosive.


Is americium explosive?

No, americium itself is not explosive. Americium is a radioactive element commonly used in smoke detectors and other applications. While it can emit alpha particles and gamma rays, which can be harmful if not properly handled, it does not possess explosive properties.


Is radium radioactive toxic or explosive?

Radium is strongly radioactive.


Is carbon explosive or radioactive?

NO --------------- I know of no pure carbon forms that are explosive (maybe there is some strained crystal structures). Though carbon could be explosive if a fine dispersion of it in air was ignited. Also acetylene and particularly its silver salt is very explosive Ag-CΞC-Ag. Even though this isn't purely carbon based, the energy is stored in the tripple bond between the carbon atoms.


Is the element sodium radioactive or non-radioactive?

non radioactive element


Does radioactive also mean explosive?

no


Is polonium explosive?

Polonium itself is not explosive. It is a radioactive element that can spontaneously decay, emitting alpha particles. However, polonium can be used to trigger a fission reaction in a nuclear bomb as part of a beryllium-polonium initiator.
