A fission bomb splits atoms apart using neutrons, whilst a fusion bomb instead fuses the atoms together, and is about ten times more powerful than a fission bomb.

Is a tomic bomb is an example of fusion or fission or annihilation?
An atomic bomb can be a fission bomb or a fusion bomb. Fusion bombs create more energy but fission bombs leave radioactive material and radiation.
Are there different types of atomic bomb?
Yes.TacticalStrategicFission - uranium, plutonium, compositeFusionSolid coreLevitated coreBoosted coreConventional fusion - 90% fission from U-238 fusion tamperClean fusion - ~5% fission mostly from primary & sparkplugDirty fusion - bomb is salted with elements intended to intensify falloutNeutron bomb - a small Clean fusion bomb intended to intensify neutron radiationetc., etc., etc.
Can Atom bomb worked by atomic fission?
Yes. Later, the Hydrogen Bomb used fission/fusion.
How is fusion used in a hydrogen bomb?
a hydrogen bomb is a fusion bomb. even though in standard types of hydrogen bombs 90% of the yield is fission, caused by uranium-238 fission by 15 MeV neutrons from the fusion reaction.
Detonation of a fusion type hydrogen bomb is started by?
Detonating a fission bomb.
Is a tomic bomb is an example of fusion or fission or annihilation?
An atomic bomb can be a fission bomb or a fusion bomb. Fusion bombs create more energy but fission bombs leave radioactive material and radiation.
Is atomic bomb fission or fusion?
Fission.
Was the atomic bomb used in world war 2 a fission or a fusion bomb?
Fission.
Maximam dengrus bomb between nuclear bomb or hydrogen bomb?
If you are asking which has the maximum danger, a hydrogen bomb is one type of nuclear bomb. In general, nuclear bombs can be fission (called atomic) or fusion (hydrogen) A fusion bomb is larger than an fission bomb, and actually uses a fission bomb to start the fusion reaction.
What happens in a nuclear bomb?
fission and/or fusion

Can Atom bomb worked by atomic fission?
Yes. Later, the Hydrogen Bomb used fission/fusion.
When was the nuclear bomb completed?
first fission bomb 1945first fusion bomb 1954
What are some famous nuclear bomb explosions?
TrinityHiroshimaNagasakiCrossroads Baker (first underwater)Ivy Mike (first fusion bomb, 90% fission yield)Ivy King (highest yield fission bomb)Castle Bravo (first dry fuel fusion bomb, 90% fission yield)Castle Romeo (test of first deliverable fusion bomb, MK-17)Redwing Zuni (test of first clean fusion bomb)Redwing Navaho (test of clean fusion bomb, only 5% fission yield)Tzar Bomba (highest yield fusion bomb, USSR)etc.
What about the atom can make an atomic bomb?
Fission and/or fusion.
How is fusion used in a hydrogen bomb?
a hydrogen bomb is a fusion bomb. even though in standard types of hydrogen bombs 90% of the yield is fission, caused by uranium-238 fission by 15 MeV neutrons from the fusion reaction.
What were people worried about with hydrogen bombs?
People were/are worried about fusion bombs for the same reasons they were/are worried about fission bombs, except more so because the yield of a fusion bomb is typically much higher than the yield of a fission bomb. So a fusion bomb typically does more of everything a fission bomb does.
