Thermonuclear or hydrogen bombs are significantly more powerful than atomic bombs. These bombs use a two-stage process that combines nuclear fission and fusion reactions, resulting in a much larger explosive yield.
An atomic bomb and a nuclear missile use similar nuclear technology, but they serve different purposes. An atomic bomb is a single explosive device that releases a huge amount of energy in one location, while a nuclear missile is a delivery system that can carry a nuclear warhead to a target. In terms of power, both have devastating consequences, but a nuclear missile has the added capability of reaching a specific target with precision.
A hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb, relies on nuclear fusion to generate a much more powerful explosion than a traditional nuclear bomb, which uses nuclear fission. Hydrogen bombs are more destructive and have higher yields than nuclear bombs.
The main difference between atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs is the source of their energy. Atomic bombs rely on nuclear fission (splitting atoms), while hydrogen bombs use a two-stage process involving both fission and fusion (combining atoms). Hydrogen bombs are more powerful and destructive than atomic bombs.
People should care about hydrogen bombs because they have immense destructive power, capable of causing widespread devastation and loss of life on a massive scale. The use of hydrogen bombs could have catastrophic consequences for humanity and the environment. It is crucial to prevent the spread and use of these weapons to maintain global peace and security.
TNT(Trinitrotolune)
if the bomb is a fission bomb it will use uranium 235 for fuel. if the bomb is a thermonuclear bomb (fusion) it will use the element hydrogen and an isotope of hydrogen for fuel.
"Nucear bomb" is very broad term, and encompases all bombs or weapons which utilize the explosive potential of specific elements, either by fusion or fission.The classic "nuclear bombs" use uranium or plutonium in a fission reaction to produce an explosion, where as a hydrogen bomb uses hydrogen, or specific isotopes of it (deuterium or tritium, either together or with another light-weight element) to produce a similar explosion (though usually larger in size), by mean of nuclear fusion.So technicaly, a hydrogen bomb is a type of nuclear bomb.
The cherry bomb explosive was invented by Edward Ignatius Barber in the early 20th century. It was originally intended for use as a small pyrotechnic device.
No. Atomic bombs use fission, hydrogen bombs use fusion (and are more powerful)
The Hydrogen bomb being harmful to humans should be realtivley self explanatory... making them was to use them as a deterent to the russians or any other nuclear aggressor. hydrogen bombs were not the only kind that were developed. there were others as well.
Hydrogen gas is very explosive so it is not safe to use in footballs!
The atomic bombs used during World War II used fission to produce the nuclear chain reaction.
Yes
The hydrogen bomb (fusion bomb) was not developed until after the end of World War 2 and so was never used on any city. The atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of that war were fission bombs. One used Uranium and the other use Plutonium to create the explosive fission reaction.
Atomic bombs use nuclear fission or fusion to release a massive amount of energy. In nuclear fission, atoms are split to release energy, whereas in fusion, atoms are combined to release energy. This energy release creates a powerful explosion.
Helium is inert whereas hydrogen is flammable and under some conditions explosive
