Does the explosion in a nuclear bomb count as a rapid chemical reaction?
No, a nuclear bomb involves a nuclear chain-reaction.A chemical reaction involves the orbiting electrons in an atom.A nuclear reaction involves the nucleus (hence "Nuclear") of an atom.
What is the difference in a nuclear power plant and a nuclear bomb?
A nuclear power plant uses a slow, controlled nuclear chain reaction to heat water and generate electricity. A nuclear bomb uses a very rapid uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction in order to generate a massive explosion.
Does fusion reaction occur in an atomic bomb?
They have a starter in a bomb and what this will do is shoot a neutron in the nuclear fuel starting a chain reaction
How to make nuclear bomb-?
To make a nuclear bomb, you need the fissionable material such as a Plutonium239 isotope, an explosive to start the nuclear chain reaction, a detonator, and a pusher.
What does atomic bomb?
An atomic bomb is a bomb that releases a tremendous amount of energy by initiating a nuclear fission chain reaction.
What does atomic bomb mean?
An atomic bomb is a bomb that releases a tremendous amount of energy by initiating a nuclear fission chain reaction.
Minimum mass of material requied for the nuclear chain reaction to occur in a nuclear bomb is called?
The critical mass
What is meant by supercritical and how does it relate to making a nuclear bomb?
A subcritical mass cannot sustain a nuclear chain reaction, it dies exponentiallyA critical mass can sustain a nuclear chain reaction, but it remains constant neither increasing nor decreasingA supercritical mass not only sustains a nuclear chain reaction but it increases exponentially until the mass explodesA nuclear fission bomb must become supercritical at some time in order to explode.
Is a bomb a nuclear reaction?
A bomb can be either conventional or nuclear.
How does atombomb work?
An atom bomb works by a nuclear chain reaction under the theory of E=mc2.
What type of reaction happens inside a nuclear power plant?
A nuclear chain reaction nuclear fission
What was the idea for the nuclear bomb?
Uncontrolled neutron chain reaction, invented in 1933 by Leo Szilaard, implemented in 1945.
