Why is uranium 238 used to make atomic bombs?
Uranium-235 (not uranium-238) is used in atomic bombs; under nuclear fission with neutrons uranium release an enormous quantity of energy (202,5 MeV per one atom of 235U).
What highly reactive mineral is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs?
No mineral. Two metals- uranium and plutonium- are used in atomic bombs.

No mineral. Two metals- uranium and plutonium- are used in atomic bombs.
What is a highly reactive mineral that is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclear powered generating plants?
Uranium is a highly reactive mineral that is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclear powered generating plants
What were the atomic bombs and why and how were they used?
The only atomic bombs used against mankind were the ones dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9 1945 which were fueled by uranium and plutonium.
What element was used to make a atomic bomb?
either uranium or plutonium may be used in fission bombs, hydrogen and/or lithium may be used in fusion bombs.
