What's at the core of an explosion?

Question

When something explodes, say an atom bomb, what happens at the very core of it?

Not what causes the explosion, but right afterwards. Does it create a vacuum at it's core at the moment of explosion or does the core become very compact?

Answer 1

The center is at very high pressure. Energy is liberated rapidly, and that energy first manifests itself as heat. Since PV=nRT (pressure times volume equals the number of particles times the ideal gas constant times temperature), the instant increase in temperature becomes an instant increase in presssure. Eventually, this pressure then relates to an increase in volume, governed by the same equation.

Answer 2

Right after the explosion there is a tremendous rush of energy away from the core. There is no vacuum. It is the opposite. It is a mad rush away from the core.

Answer 3

well u should probably lisen to the professor but i was thinking don't explosions go out and then get sucked back in on the selves i u watch a video of one ull see

Answer 4

a vaccum cause the word explode has the prefix 'ex' which means escape or go out so the blast makes the middle go out causing somehtin like a hole to be made in teh center

Answer 5

the explosion is not vacuumed it is a release a setting free of

Answer 6

boom/fire
