a hydrogen bomb is a fusion bomb. even though in standard types of hydrogen bombs 90% of the yield is fission, caused by uranium-238 fission by 15 MeV neutrons from the fusion reaction.

Can Atom bomb worked by atomic fission?
Yes. Later, the Hydrogen Bomb used fission/fusion.
What is the most powerful fusion weapon?
The hydrogen bomb basically it is the deuterium bomb which is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen.
Detonation of a fusion type hydrogen bomb is started by?
Detonating a fission bomb.
Is the nuclear bomb more powerful than the hydrogen bomb?
Nuclear bomb can mean either fission or fusion bomb. Hydrogen bomb means fusion bomb. The fusion bomb can be built with any yield one wants, just by adding more stages with more fuel. The fission bomb has a theoretical maximum yield that cannot be exceeded.
What is the principle of the hydrogen bomb?
Uncontrolled nuclear fusion reactions.
What is the principle used in the hydrogen bomb?
Nuclear fusion.
Can Atom bomb worked by atomic fission?
Yes. Later, the Hydrogen Bomb used fission/fusion.
What is another name for fusion bomb?
hydrogen bomb, or a nuclear bomb
Which is most powerful a nuke an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb?
An H-Bomb is 1000 times stronger than an atomic bomb. Atomic explosions are based on splitting atoms and is a fission explosion or fission bomb. The Hydrogen bomb (also called H-Bomb) is a Fusion reaction where atoms are forced together. Atomic bombs were used in World War II, Hydrogen bombs have been tested, but not used in war.
What is another name for fusion?
hydrogen bomb, or a nuclear bomb
Maximam dengrus bomb between nuclear bomb or hydrogen bomb?
If you are asking which has the maximum danger, a hydrogen bomb is one type of nuclear bomb. In general, nuclear bombs can be fission (called atomic) or fusion (hydrogen) A fusion bomb is larger than an fission bomb, and actually uses a fission bomb to start the fusion reaction.
Why a hydrogen bomb is called a hydrogen bomb?
The fusion reaction in thermonuclear weapons (hydrogen bombs) is caused by the nuclear fusion of different isotopes of hydrogen (tritium and deuterium), hence the name.
What is the most powerful fusion weapon?
The hydrogen bomb basically it is the deuterium bomb which is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen.
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 fuse for hydrogen bomb?
An Atomic bomb is the detonator for a Hydrogen bomb to create enough heat for the fission - fusion chain reaction.
Hydrogen bomb compared with atomic bomb?
A hydrogen or fusion bomb will be ten times more powerful than the original fission atomic bomb.
Detonation of a fusion type hydrogen bomb is started by?
Detonating a fission bomb.
