Maybe. They would have had to think of all the possible side effects but the chance of this happening is tiny.
There are two explosions in a hydrogen bomb: a fission reaction of uranium or plutonium. This then creates the heat and pressure in the centre of the explosion to initiate the fusion reaction and explosion. The chances of the fission reaction causing a chain reaction in the water is very small as it needs large unstable nuclei to react like U235 but there is none in the sea. The chances of the fusion reaction creating a chain reaction is even less because the fusing elements need to be at millions of degrees and the sea is not a million degrees.
What else can I help you with?
What happens when carbon oxygen and hydrogen are heated together?
Most likely you'll get an explosion that creates carbon dioxide and water. But that will only happen if you get the mixture hot enough or the pressure is high enough.
What is the ratio of hydrogen?
The ratio of hydrogen to WHAT!
What is the distance with the highest probability of finding a dot in the probable location of ean electron?
The highest probability of finding an electron is typically at a distance corresponding to the electron's most likely radial position within an atom's electron cloud. In the case of hydrogen, for example, this distance is often described by the Bohr model, which indicates that the most probable distance for the electron is at the Bohr radius, approximately 0.529 angstroms (or 5.29 x 10^-11 meters) from the nucleus. However, this can vary based on the specific atom and the electron's energy level.
Why doesn't 1 gram of hydrogen react with 1 gram of chlorine?
One atom of hydrogen reacts with one atom of chlorine forming one molecule of hydrogen chloride (hydrochloric acid). An atom of hydrogen has less mass than one of chlorine so 1 gram of hydrogen contains more hydrogen atoms than one gram of chlorine.
What compounds have a hydrogen to oxygen ratio that is greater than 2 to 1?
Hydrogen peroxide (H202)
What is more stronger a comet explosion or a nuke explosion?
a comet explosion is more stronger and bigger than a nuke explosion and atomic bomb but not a hydrogen if you want something to be mor bigger than a hydrogen explosion call in a asteroid that's bigger than a hydrogen explosion and some meteors. ps I am the maker of the awnsers web site
Did the explosion of the Hindenburg lead to the creation of the hydrogen bomb?
no!!!!!the Hindenburg did not explode. its aluminum painted skin caught fire from an electrostatic discharge. that fire ignited ordinary chemical hydrogen/oxygen fires as the lift gas bladders breached.no nuclear fusion was involved. not even a chemical explosion occurred.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of hydrogen as an alternative fuel?
Hydrogen is plentiful therefore cheep. It is also volatile if not handled properly. Comparatively, a hydrogen explosion can be close to a nuclear explosion damage wise.
What can cause changes in an ecosystem?
The explosion of a hydrogen bomb.
How does hydrogen gas cause explosion on nuclear reactors?
In a nuclear reactor, hydrogen gas can be produced as a byproduct of the reaction. If the hydrogen gas mixes with oxygen in the presence of a spark or flame, it can ignite and cause an explosion due to its highly flammable nature. This phenomenon, known as a hydrogen explosion, can result in damage to the reactor containment and pose a risk to the reactor's integrity.
Is hydrogen deadly?
Hydrogen is not toxic, but in its elemental form it is highly flammable. Mishandling it can result in an explosion.
What is the significance of hydrogen orbitals in the study of atomic structure?
Hydrogen orbitals are important in atomic structure because they describe the probability of finding an electron in a specific region around the hydrogen nucleus. Understanding these orbitals helps scientists predict the behavior of electrons in atoms and molecules, which is crucial for explaining chemical bonding and reactivity.
What is the biggest know explosion in history?
The biggest explosion in history was the detonation of the Hydrogen bomb in the Bikini Atoll in the 1950s.
What is the name of the hydrogen explosion in 1920's?
The Hindenburg disaster.
Is hydrogen gas explosion endothermic or exothermic and why?
The explosion of hydrogen gas is exothermic because it releases energy in the form of heat and light. During the explosion, the chemical bonds in hydrogen gas are broken and new bonds are formed with oxygen, releasing more energy than is required to break the initial bonds.
What is the probability of finding an electron in a hydrogen atom?
The probability of finding an electron in a hydrogen atom is determined by its wave function, which describes the likelihood of finding the electron at a specific location. This probability is highest near the nucleus and decreases as you move further away.
What are they doing to fix the nuclear explosion in japan?
There was no nuclear explosion in the Japanese reactors. The explosion(s) that damaged/destroyed the Japanese reactors were either steam explosions and/or hydrogen/oxygen gas explosions.A steam explosion is what destroyed the Chernobyl reactor. It is caused when cooling water flash evaporates.A hydrogen/oxygen explosion is caused when water decomposes on contact with overheated zirconium cladding on fuel pellets, releasing hydrogen gas. If enough accumulates and a spark happens it explodes. Three Mile Island began accumulating hydrogen like this but it was vented before it could explode.
