What do you mean by nuclear accidents and can you explain two basic types of nuclear weapons?
A nuclear accident is the unintended release of nuclear radiation into the environment, such as damage to a nuclear reactor or to a nuclear weapon (plane crash carrying nuclear bombs, etc). The two basic forms of nuclear weapons are fission and fusion weapons.
What do humans use fission for?
One use is in nuclear power plants to produce steam and turn turbines to generate electricity.Nuclear bombs ^.^
What are the types of weapons used in war?
Guns, bombs, planes.
Why is the atomic bomb different from normal bombs?
conventional chemical bombs get their energy from the electromagnetic force of the 8 valence band electrons of the outermost S & P orbitalsnuclear bombs get their energy from the strong nuclear force that holds the nucleus of the atom togetherNote: both operate in accordance with E=Mc2, but as the strong force is several orders of magnitude stronger than the electromagnetic force several orders of magnitude more mass converts to energy in nuclear bombs than in conventional bombs.
What damage does a nuclear bomb to a regular bomb?
first off, of course, a nuclear bomb is thousands of times stronger than a normal bomb. a nuclear bomb also carries radiation, energy that causes poisoning and cancer, while most normal bombs cant do that.
