Is a bomb a nuclear reaction?

No, a bomb is not necessarily a nuclear reaction. A bomb can be any device that is designed to explode and cause destruction, whereas a nuclear reaction involves the splitting or combining of atomic nuclei to release energy. Nuclear bombs, also known as atomic bombs, utilize nuclear reactions to produce a very powerful explosion.


What is the difference between the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb?

The difference between an A-Bomb and H-Bomb is the energy reaction inside them, one of them is nuclear fusion and the other one is nuclear fission. A-Bombs contain a unstable nuclei such as Uranium 235, whiles H-Bombs contain light stable isotopes of hydrogen and sometimes helium. Nuclear fusion is the merging of atoms/particles, whilst nuclear fission is the splitting and break down of a big unstable nuclei.


What were the long term result in America after the atomic bomb?

The long term result of the use of the Atomic bomb by the US in WW2, has been building new and larger nuclear weapons/bombs. Despite the advances in nuclear activity, it can clearly be seen that the "fear" of using the mass destruction of nuclear weapons has been that no more nuclear or atomic bombs have ever been used again.


How do you disarm an atomic bomb?

Figure out a way to remove the nuclear material, and there will be no reaction. Unfortunately, atomic bombs are usually dropped from the sky, detonating on impact.


What nuclear reaction provided the massive energy of the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1944?

if the atomic bomb had been available in 1944 it would have been used on germany not japan. the first atomic bombs were not built until july 1945, after germany had already surrendered so they were used on japan. nuclear fission in a neutron chain reaction.


What kind of nuclear reaction does an atomic bomb use?

An atomic bomb uses a nuclear fission reaction. This involves splitting the nucleus of a heavy atom, such as uranium or plutonium, into smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.


Why are thermo nuclear bombs more disasterus than nuclear bombs?

Thermonuclear bombs, or hydrogen bombs, are more destructive than nuclear bombs because they involve a two-stage process: a fission reaction triggers a fusion reaction, resulting in a much larger explosion. This fusion reaction releases much more energy and is more efficient at converting material into energy compared to the fission reaction alone. As a result, thermonuclear bombs are typically much more powerful and devastating than traditional nuclear bombs.


What is used in atomic bombs?

Uranium which is a fuel is used in atomic bombs and in nuclear power stations.


What bombs did Germans use in the blitz?

They used nuclear and atomic bombs.


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)


What were other option rather an atomic bomb?

Atomic bombs are a type of Nuclear bomb and there are 2 types of nuclear bombs. The second type of nuclear bomb is a hydrogen bomb.


Did the atomic bomb use fussion for its explosive power?

The atomic bombs used during World War II used fission to produce the nuclear chain reaction.
