Bombs and Explosive Materials

TNT (trinitrotoluene) and nitroglycerin are known to be very sensitive to heat and shock. These explosives can detonate spontaneously if exposed to high temperatures or sudden impacts. Special care must be taken when handling these materials to prevent accidental detonation.

Nitric acid is commonly used in the production of explosive materials such as nitroglycerin and ammonium nitrate-based explosives. It serves as a key component in the chemical reaction that creates these volatile compounds.

The thickness required to protect against a 100 lb bomb exploding 50 feet away using solid timber walls would need to be substantial, likely beyond what is practical for standard construction. The blast pressure from a bomb of that size at that distance would be very high, and timber walls alone may not provide adequate protection. Additional blast mitigation measures such as reinforcing the walls with steel or using blast-resistant materials would be necessary.

No, explosives cannot be made from urine. Urine does not contain the necessary chemicals or properties to produce explosives.

The circumference of an atomic bomb explosion can vary depending on the size and yield of the bomb. In general, the blast radius of a typical atomic bomb explosion can extend several miles from the epicenter.

Mainly because carbon atoms are used as combustible substance, and nitrogen similar to oxigen, is oxidant (promotes the reaction of burning).

Both parts are necessary to produce a reaction in very a short time (explosion).

Fission refers to the process of splitting a heavy atomic nucleus into two or more lighter nuclei. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the basis for nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons. In nuclear reactors, controlled fission reactions are used to generate heat for producing electricity.

Medium explosives are materials with a moderate amount of power and sensitivity, falling between low and high explosives. They are often used in mining, construction, and military applications for their ability to generate controlled explosions. Examples of medium explosives include TNT (trinitrotoluene) and RDX (cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine).

The artificial element with atomic number 99 found in the debris of the hydrogen bomb in 1953 is einsteinium (Es). It is a radioactive synthetic element that is created in nuclear reactors and has no known natural occurrence on Earth. Einsteinium was named after Albert Einstein.

Explosives examples include TNT and dynamite. Organic peroxides examples include benzoyl peroxide and cumene hydroperoxide. Oxidizers examples include potassium permanganate and ammonium nitrate.

Some do, some don't. It depends on the specific explosive.

No, a blasting cap is not a high explosive itself, but rather a small explosive device used to trigger a larger explosive charge. Blasting caps are sensitive explosives designed to initiate a controlled detonation in high explosives like dynamite or other blasting agents.

No. Nitroglycerine is one of the most well-known high explosives and the first to be developed, but there are a number of explosives that are more powerful. Currently the most powerful known high explosive is octinitrocubane.

The most widely used low explosives are black powder, smokeless powder, and pyrotechnic compositions. These explosives are commonly used in firearms, fireworks, and industrial applications due to their controlled burn rate and relatively low sensitivity to shock or friction.

A clock can trigger an explosive by connecting an electrical circuit that ignites the explosive material at a specific time set on the clock. The clock functions as a timer to initiate the detonation process by providing an electrical signal to the firing mechanism of the explosive device.

Explosives are neither good nor bad, they simply ARE. Each day in the US we use about 5 MILLION pounds of explosives for good purposes- mining, construction, demolition, etc. However, explosives are concentrated energy (about 1 million horsepower in one stick of dynamite). Used for bad purposes, used carelessly, or used by someone without the training and knowledge to use them safely, explosives can damage property and hurt or kill people.

• Hydrogen is explosive
• Ammonia when mixed with oxygen, it burns with a pale yellowish-green flame.
• At high temperature and in the presence of a suitable catalyst, ammonia is decomposed into its constituent elements. Ignition occurs when chlorine is passed into ammonia, forming nitrogen and hydrogen chloride; if chlorine is present in excess, then the highly explosive nitrogen trichloride (NCl3) is formed.

The three categories of high explosives are primary explosives, secondary explosives, and tertiary explosives. Primary explosives are very sensitive and are used to initiate a detonation. Secondary explosives are more stable and are commonly used in commercial and military applications. Tertiary explosives are less sensitive and are often used as propellants.

They use one material as a fuel, and a nitrate as the oxidizer. When enough external energy is donated to start the chemical reaction, the fuel and oxidizer react very quickly, which is an explosion.

Nuclear bombs have the potential to create extremely large explosions, depending on their size and design. The most powerful nuclear bomb ever detonated, the Tsar Bomba, had an explosive yield of about 50 megatons (equivalent to 50 million tons of TNT) and created a blast radius of over 20 miles.

Andrei Sakharov contributed to the Soviet Union's development of the atomic bomb because it was a priority for the Soviet government at the time to enhance national security and military capabilities. Sakharov later became a vocal advocate for nuclear disarmament and peace.

The bouncing bomb was developed in 1943 during World War II by British engineer Barnes Wallis. It was used in Operation Chastise in May 1943 by the Royal Air Force to disrupt German dams.

One that will not reliably detonate from heat/flame, but requires the energy of a donor explosive to detonate.
