A nuclear weapon is commonly defined as a device‚ which uses a nuclear reaction for destructive means. There are six different types of nuclear bombs. The two main types of nuclear weapons: atom bombs and hydrogen bombs. The hydrogen bomb is the most powerful‚ destructive bomb of all. In this essay I’m going to give a brief history of the hydrogen bomb‚ the chemistry behind the bomb‚ and how much destruction the hydrogen bomb can do. After the Soviet Union’s atomic bomb success during the cold war

Melting point is the temperature at which the lattice is collapses and the solid is converted into liquid. The trend in structure is from the metallic oxides containing giant structures of ions on the left of the period via a giant covalent oxide in the middle to molecular oxides on the right. Sodium peroxide‚ magnesium oxide and aluminum oxide are metallic oxide which have high melting and boiling point compared to other period 3 oxide. This is due to their giant ionic structure and the strong ionic

Aim During this experiment I will be investigating if heating limestone and changing the concentration of the acid will affect the rate of reaction. Preliminary work Before doing our main experiment‚ we will have to conduct another experiment‚ to see what concentration of acid we will have to use. We done this using 0.1M‚ 0.5M and 1M of Hydrochloric acid‚ and 0.1g of powdered limestone‚ we used powdered limestone‚ as it would be a fairer test‚ I think this as all the particles of limestone will

Most of the metals are solids; few of them are liquids‚ such as mercury and cesium. Density of metals is not similar also. For example‚ sodium has density of 0.97g/cm3 while lead has density of 11.4g/cm3. Melting point of sodium is 98.0oC while for lead it is 327.6oC. Metals have the capability

Hydrogen and the Noble Gases Hydrogen is the chemical element with atomic number 1. It is represented by the symbol “H”. It is an odorless‚ nonmetallic‚ tasteless and highly explosive gas. Hydrogen is the lightest and most abundant chemical element in the universe. It forms 1- ions when combined with metals‚ and 1+ ion when combined with non-metals to form acids. Hydrogen is “the fuel of life”; without it to combine with oxygen we would not have water. Water is made of two parts hydrogen

to investigate the effect of substrate concentration Hydrogen Peroxide H O (in %) on the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase (in 1/mean time). Prediction: As the substrate concentration (hydrogen peroxide) in % increases the rate of reaction in 1/mean rate increases until the solution becomes saturated with the substrate hydrogen peroxide. When this saturation point is reached‚ then adding extra substrate will make no difference. The rate steadily increases when more substrate is added because

table shows the reasons for my choice of equipment in carrying out my method. Equipment | Justification | 100 cm3 burette | I needed to accurately measure out large quantities of hydrogen peroxide (90 cm3 and 150 cm3). The 100 cm3 burette is a precise instrument and would allow me to measure out the hydrogen peroxide by filling it fewer times than I would need to with 50 cm3 burette. | 50 cm3 burette | I needed to repeatedly measure out small volumes of solutions A–I. The burette made the task

Hydrogen has a high specific energy‚ high flame speed‚ wide range of flammability‚ and clean burning characteristics which suggest a possibility of high performance in internal combustion engines (ICE). These attributes have been realized for more than half a century since the onset of hydrogen engine development. In the early 1990s‚ FSEC conducted research on using hydrogen in an ICE. This work resulted in the development of a mixed fuel called HYTEST. Today‚ automobile manufacturers and DOE continue

<b>Thesis Statement</b><br>The hydrogen bomb is a nuclear weapon in which light atomic nuclei of hydrogen are joined together in an uncontrolled nuclear fusion reaction to release tremendous amounts of energy. The hydrogen bomb is about a thousand times as powerful as the atomic bomb‚ which produces a nuclear fission explosion about a million times more powerful than comparably sized bombs using conventional high explosives such as TNT.<br><br><b>The Hydrogen Bomb</b><br>The Atomic Bomb Was A Essential
