Work of an atomic bomb is a physical process.
Work of an atomic bomb is a physical process.
The atomic bomb involves a nuclear chemical change whereas conventional explosive only involve electrochemical changes.
An atomic bomb uses fission-- the splitting of atoms. It is purely a physical change, at first. Any gases produced in the air surrounding the explosion (which occurs before it touches the ground), along with the intense heat produced, causes chemical changes in the air.
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.

It is usually a chemical change.
Physical change: Water freezing into ice Chemical change: Water being broken down into hydrogen and hydroxide ions after the addition of a pure metal.
i am also want to know what was the chemical formula of atomic bomb
it made atomic bomb
The atomic bomb killed millions of people in just one bomb , the napalm on the other hand , was nothing like it . Napalm is a chemical device ... it produces fire (it's also called jellied gasoline). An atomic bomb is a nuclear device ... and puts out considerably more energy.

chemical reactions are involved by the participation of electrons only.During chemical reaction number of protans remains as it is. No change in number of protans.Number of protans is also called atomic number.So no change in number of protans means no change in atomic number. That's why atomic number is not change during a chemical reaction.
