So what happens to the shell of a nuclear bomb when it detonates?

So all it really takes basically is to smash two bite of uranium really hard?

That was anticlimactic.

It vaporizes on the atomic level. Though that isn't the right term...

>>8966862
not really. in image plutonium is the driving force at play.

>>8966897
what you mean is it turns to gas?, sublimation?

>>8966848
it ionizes

>>8966932
Thermal ionization i guess

>>8966912
It turns to plasma.
Meaning that the atoms of the bomb she'll loses all electrons.
It's not a gas. Another state of matter.

I though the image was a schematics for a toilet bowl.

I'm disappointed.

Ya'll don't think it's hot enough for it to simply become straight up plasma?

i got u

I actually wonder what hits first in pic related, the shock wave of the explosive shell or the nuclear blast at fission.

>>8967094
thereby I mean hit the outer shell

>>8966985
Correct. Not sure what the term is. Or if there is one. Transitioning from one solid to plasma is very outside my comfort zone...
