In general terms, enough U235 or Pu239 to form a critical assembly, but in separate small pieces. Also a high explosive charge of the required shape. When required to fire, the HE charge drives the pieces of U235 or Pu239 together with great force, causing a nuclear explosion. The precise details are secret, and best if they stay that way.

∙ 11y agoAn atomic fission bomb consists of:
- arming mechanism
- fusing mechanism
- rapid assembly mechanism
- fissile material
- neutron source mechanism
An atomic fusion bomb consists of:
- atomic fission bomb as described above
- hohlraum (aka cavity)
- radiation implosion mechanism (this is the most highly classified part)
- plutonium sparkplug
- lithium-deuteride fusion fuel
- depleted uranium tamper

Picture of the ingredients of atomic bomb?
I suggest Richard Rhodes book The Making of the Atomic Bomb.
What is stronger between the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb?
In general, a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb) is more powerful than a fission (atomic) bomb. Fusion bombs use an atomic bomb to begin the fusion reaction.
What is the full form of Atom-bomb?
atomic bomb
Does fusion reaction occur in an atomic bomb?
They have a starter in a bomb and what this will do is shoot a neutron in the nuclear fuel starting a chain reaction
Could the atomic bomb exist without radioactivity?
fission bomb no, fusion bomb yes.
Is there fluoride in the atomic bomb?
Yes, it was one of the main ingredients for the atomic bomb. You can google it.
