What were the atomic bombs made of?
little boy the first atom bomb used uranium 235 and fat man the second one used plutonium 239 surrounded by high explosives little boy used uranium 235 and fat man used plutonium 239<------- That answer makes no sense, and ima girl and i asked that question. What are you stupid? Little Boy was the first bomb, and Fat Man was the second.
What elements was used in the atomic bombs?
The little boy atomic bomb used on Hiroshima contained Uranium-235. The Fat Man atomic bomb used on Nagasaki contained Plutonium.
What element was first used to make the atomic bomb?
Many elements were used in the first atomic bombs in the nonnuclear parts. As I cannot possibly list them all (the most common elements were the carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen used in the chemical explosives) I will only address the elements used as the nuclear fuel that powered the atomic explosion.Gadget, plutonium-239 (Trinity site test on July 16, 1945)Little Boy, uranium-235 (Hiroshima bombing on August 6, 1945)Fatman, plutonium-239 (Nagasaki bombing on August 8, 1945)Gilda, plutonium-239 (Operation Crossroads Able test on June 30, 1946)Helen of Bikini, plutonium-239 (Operation Crossroads Baker test on July 24, 1946)all 3 Operation Sandstone tests in 1948 used plutonium-239all 5 Operation Ranger tests in 1951 used plutonium-239the first 2 Operation Greenhouse tests in 1951 used plutonium-239the third Operation Greenhouse test in 1951 used plutonium-239 and deuterium (boosted fission)the fourth Operation Greenhouse test in 1951 used plutonium-239 and tritium (boosted fission)all 7 Operation Buster-Jangle tests in 1951 used plutonium-239the 8 Operation Tumbler-Snapper tests in 1952 used various combinations of uranium-235, plutonium-239, and deuterium in different teststhe first Operation Ivy test in 1952 used plutonium-239, deuterium, and tritium (it was the first hydrogen bomb)the second Operation Ivy test in 1953 used uranium-235 (at about 500 kiloton yield it was the largest pure fission explosion ever)the 11 Operation Upshot-Knothole tests in 1953 used various combinations of uranium-235, plutonium-239, lithium, and deuterium in different tests (several were "hydrogen bomb mockups" without the fusion fuel to test the principle of radiation implosion)the 6 Operation Castle tests in 1954 used various combinations of lithium, deuterium, and plutonium-239 (these included the first tests of practical designs for deliverable hydrogen bombs)etc.
Which element was used to make the first atomic bombs?
The fissile fuel in the first 3 bombs was:Plutonium, Trinity test, July 16, 1945Uranium, Hiroshima attack, August 6, 1945Plutonium, Nagasaki attack, August 9, 1945Trinity test Gadget: Plutonium. First atomic bomb detonation.Hiroshima Little Boy: 80% enriched Uranium. First atomic bomb used in combat.Take your pick.
What is a catch phrase for uranium?
Little boy and fat man will blow u away
What elements were used in fat man and little boy?
'Little Boy' - Uranium whereas 'Fat Man' used Plutonium triggering devices .
What is the name of the fuel used in little boy and fatman?
The Little man used uranium as fuel and the Fat man used Plutonium as fuel.
Why is the atomic bomb called Fat Man and Little Boy?
The difference was little boy was droped on Hiroshima in world war 2, it is much smaller than the fat man used on Nagasaki and the little boy uses uranium to compress it. The fat man uses plutonium to detonate.
What were the atomic bombs made of?

What are you stupid? Little Boy was the first bomb, and Fat Man was the second.
What type of chemical did Little boy have more of plutonium or uranium?
Little boy was a bomb with highly enriched uranium.
What element was used to create the first Atomic bomb?
Apparently it was plutonium which I think is element 295.Plutonium is element 94.Plutonium was used in the Gadget at Trinity.Uranium was used in the first bomb dropped on Japan the Little Boy at Hiroshima.Plutonium was used in the second bomb dropped on Japan the Fatman at Nagasaki.
What element is used to make atomic bombs?
Apparently it was plutonium which I think is element 295.Plutonium is element 94.Plutonium was used in the Gadget at Trinity.Uranium was used in the first bomb dropped on Japan the Little Boy at Hiroshima.Plutonium was used in the second bomb dropped on Japan the Fatman at Nagasaki.
What was the fuel used in the first nuclear bomb test?
In the test bomb, the material was plutonium. Plutonium was also used in one of the bombs dropped on Japan, Fat Man. Little Boy, the bomb dropped on Nagasaki, was made of uranium.
Why was plutonium used in Fat Man?
There are two materials that can be used to make an atomic bomb: Plutonium-239 and uranium-235. Of the two plutonium-239 is easier to acquire. By the end of the Manhattan Project the U.S. only had enough uranium-235 to make one bomb, and that was Little Boy.
What elements was used in the atomic bombs?
The little boy atomic bomb used on Hiroshima contained Uranium-235. The Fat Man atomic bomb used on Nagasaki contained Plutonium.
What were the two places the scientist were getting the elements from for fat man and little boy?
The plutonium and the uranium used to fuel the atomic bombs came from the Congo's mines.
What are Plutonium atomic bombs?
Plutonium was and still is used for atomic bombs. The atomic bombs you are talking about would be fat man and little boy. They were the two used to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki Many people were killed when the b-29 bomber dropped fat man.
