Yes. Later, the Hydrogen Bomb used fission/fusion.
No, an atomic bomb uses fission, but a nuclear or thermonuclear bomb combines fission and nuclear fusion. Therefore, a nuke is more powerful than an atom bomb.
No.
An atomic bomb can be a fission bomb or a fusion bomb. Fusion bombs create more energy but fission bombs leave radioactive material and radiation.
Yes, radioactive decay results in the release of nuclear energy. The radioactive decay of an atom is the result of changes in the atom's nucleus, so energy released will be nuclear energy by definition.
Nuclear fission
Fission and/or fusion.
No, an atomic bomb uses fission, but a nuclear or thermonuclear bomb combines fission and nuclear fusion. Therefore, a nuke is more powerful than an atom bomb.
Atomic fission and the chain reaction.
No. Atomic bombs use fission, hydrogen bombs use fusion (and are more powerful)
Fission.
The element first used for fission in an atomic bomb is uranium.
Fission.
Atomic fission 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.
Yes and no.A-bomb or Atomic Bomb is a generic term simply meaning a bomb getting its energy from the atom. This name has become commonly used to mean Fission bomb.Nuclear Bomb is a generic term simply meaning a bomb getting its energy from the nucleus of the atom, can be used interchangeably with Atomic bomb as a generic term.Fission Bomb is a term for a specific type of Atomic/Nuclear bomb getting its energy from the fission (breaking up) of large atomic nuclei (e.g., Uranium or Plutonium).Fusion Bomb, H-bomb, or Hydrogen Bomb is a term for a specific type of Atomic/Nuclear bomb getting its energy from the fusion (combining) of small atomic nuclei (e.g., Deuterium or Tritium).Most modern Nuclear Weapons use combinations of Fission and Fusion to get desired results. This makes it hard to put them in fixed categories.Hope this helps some to clarify things.
Fission and/or fusion of atomic nuclei.
An atomic bomb is a bomb that releases a tremendous amount of energy by initiating a nuclear fission chain reaction.
