Low explosives are relatively difficult to obtain and are used less frequently in homemade bombs than high explosives.
true or false

False

Explanation:

Explosives are traditionally divided into two categories: low explosives and high explosives.

Low explosives are mixtures of chemicals that burn very rapidly, but subsonically (as opposed to supersonically), meaning that they “deflagrate.” They consist typically of fuel and an oxidizer. The black powder used in fireworks is one example of a low explosive. Black powder burns very quickly, but to get it to go bang, we have to contain it. Fireworks hold black powder inside a cardboard or paper tube so that once the powder has burned, the gases burst the container noisily. This is not unlike the action of popcorn, whose steam bursts its kernel.

High explosives consist of materials that typically combine the reacting elements in the same molecule. This allows them to react much faster, and they “detonate.” Detonation involves supersonic shock waves that pass through the material, causing chemistry that happens quite a bit faster than burning. High explosives do not need to be contained to make their bang. Nitroglycerine, trinitrotoluene, and RDX are high explosives.

answers: to make sure that all of the broken pieces of tablet were added to the water, to allow for fair comparison of all three trials, with different particle sizes to avoid experimental error

answer:

technetium is the most reactive. this is followed by silver. the least reactive out of these three elements is strontium.
