What about the atom can make an atomic bomb?

Fission and/or fusion.


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 the principle used in atom bomb?

Atomic fission and the chain reaction.


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

No. Atomic bombs use fission, hydrogen bombs use fusion (and are more powerful)


Is atomic bomb fission or fusion?

Fission.


What is the element first used for fission in the atomic bomb production?

The element first used for fission in an atomic bomb is uranium.


Was the atomic bomb used in world war 2 a fission or a fusion bomb?

Fission.


What is an example of uncontrolled nuclear fission reaction?

Atomic fission bomb.


Which is most powerful a nuke an atomic bomb or a hydrogen 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.


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.


Atomic bomb energy is released by?

Fission and/or fusion of atomic nuclei.


What does atomic bomb?

An atomic bomb is a bomb that releases a tremendous amount of energy by initiating a nuclear fission chain reaction.
