Nuclear weapons in which enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?

Answer 1

During the detonation of a nuclear bomb an enormous amount of energy is released as fission due to the splitting (fissioning) of atoms of uranium or plutonium. In the case of a simple nuclear weapon (such as those dropped on Japan during World War 2) this is where the explosion stops. In the case of a hydrogen bomb, also referred to as a thermonuclear weapon, the energy released by the fission is used to trigger the fusion of atoms of hydrogen, releasing energy in the same way that the sun produces energy.

Answer 2

Nuclear weapons utilize the energy released from nuclear fission reactions to create explosive power. The process involves splitting atomic nuclei, resulting in a chain reaction that leads to a massive release of energy in a very short amount of time. This energy release is what causes the destructive force associated with nuclear weapons.
