Nuclear fission
Yes, radioactive decay results in the release of nuclear energy. The radioactive decay of an atom is the result of changes in the atom's nucleus, so energy released will be nuclear energy by definition.
An atomic bomb has more destructive potential, but a large, long-lived tornado would probably release more energy than a small nuclear weapon.
The nuclear fuel either loaded in adedicatednuclear reactor or in an atomic bomb
Gunpowder, TNT, C4 plastic explosive, nitroglycerin, etc. all release chemical energy that has nothing to do with the nuclei of the atoms in the chemicals. Any 'bomb' that makes an explosion with nuclear energy is a 'nuclear' bomb. The "Hydrogen Bomb" is one of them. So far, devices have been built and tested that use the atomic nucleus to make explosions in two different general ways: -- "fission" . . . the nuclear energy is released when one heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter ones. This device is popularly known as the "Atomic Bomb". -- "fusion" . . . the nuclear energy is released when two light atomic nuclei join together to form a single one. This device is popularly known as the "Hydrogen Bomb".
They release some of the energy bound in atomic nuclei.
Atomic bomb is a very danger bomb. IT emits the nucleus energy.
A nuclear bomb or atomic bomb
Nuclear fission
It gets its energy from the atomic nucleus.
Nuclear
This nuclear weapon is called an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb
An atomic bomb is a bomb that releases a tremendous amount of energy by initiating a nuclear fission chain reaction.
A large release of energy from atomic nuclei, either via fission or fusion.
An atomic bomb is a bomb that releases a tremendous amount of energy by initiating a nuclear fission chain reaction.
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.
