Is the atomic bomb the same thing as the nuclear missile?

No. A nuclear missile is a rocket of some kind with an atomic/nuclear bomb as its warhead.


What is the difference between an atomic bomb and a nuclear weapon?

Those are two different names for the same thing.There actually is not a difference in the atomic bomb and nuclear bomb. Saying 'Nuclear Bomb' is a modern way of saying 'Atomic Bomb'.


What is the nuclear weapon greater than the atomic bomb?

They are both the same thing.


Is the atom bomb and a nuke the same?

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.


What is stronger a nuclear or an atomic bomb?

Actually, niether because they are both the same thing.


What happens when two bombs collide?

This question makes no sense as an atomic bomb is a nuclear bomb and vice versa. They are the same thing.


Does atomic explosion and nuclear explosion mean the same?

This question could be easily misconstrued. While atomic and nuclear explosion mean the same thing, and all atomic bombs are nuclear bombs, not all nuclear bombs are atomic bombs. The more powerful nuclear bombs are hydrogen bombs, and there is a very important fundamental difference between the two. ============================================================== A bomb is fission - the splitting of an atom H bomb is fusion - the joining together of atoms (and much more powerfull)


Are the a bomb and h bomb the same?

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.


What are examples of physical chemical and nuclear change in the same matter?

Physical change: Water freezing into ice Chemical change: Water being broken down into hydrogen and hydroxide ions after the addition of a pure metal.


Which bomb has a faster energy nuclear bomb or atomic bomb?

I am not sure what is meant by the phrase faster energy. As far as the difference. A nuclear bomb can refer to a fission device (also known as atomic bomb). Or it can be a thermonuclear device (combining both fission and fusion reactions), which yields a larger blast energy from the same amount of material.For some reason, links are not allowed to be added right now, so go to Wikipedia and type in "Nuclear Weapon" for more information.


Is the atom bomb and the atomic bomb the same thing?

Yes, it is!


Why does an atomic bomb release more energy than a conventional chemical bomb?

An atomic bomb releases more energy than a conventional chemical bomb because the atomic bomb releases binding, or Nuclear Strong Force, energy while the conventional bomb releases chemical energy, and there is far more binding energy (hundreds and thousands of times) than there is chemical energy from the same mass of material.
