Nuclear bomb: a class of weapons that generates force by nuclear reactions instead of chemical reactions. Nuclear reactions include atomic fission and nuclear fusion.
Atomic bombs are a class of weapons that use fission reactions from either Uranium-235 or Plutonium-239. The reaction is caused by creating a critical mass of the radioactive element, which then undergoes a chain reaction causing its atoms to fission, or break apart, releasing energy in the form of heat and radiation. The byproducts of the reaction are strongly radioactive, causing further damage as "radioactive fallout".
Thermonuclear fusion bombs are a class of weapons that use heavy hydrogen isotopes (deuterium and tritium) as the primary energy source. When heated to extreme temperatures by an igniter atomic bomb, the hydrogen undergoes nuclear fusion, where the atoms fuse together to form the element lithium, release energy as heat and radiation. The quantity of energy released from a hydrogen fusion reaction is much higher than that from a fission reaction, resulting in more destruction from a relatively similar physical package
What else can I help you with?
What is stronger a nuke or atom bomb?
A nuclear bomb and an atomic bomb are actually the same thing. Both terms refer to a type of explosive device that releases energy by nuclear reactions. The power of the explosion depends on the type of nuclear reactions involved and the amount of fissile material present in the bomb.
What is stronger atom bomb or nuke?
An atomic bomb is a nuclear weapon. A nuclear fusion bomb, (hydrogen, is usually much stronger than a nuclear fission bomb (uranium or plutonium). The weapons detonated in Japan during WWII measured about 15 kilotons equivalent of TNT. Today, most nuclear weapons are measured by megaton (1000X kiloton) equivalents up to a bomb built by the Russians with a possible yield of 100 megatons.
Is nuclear bomb stronger?
stronger than what?
Is a nuclear bomb n a atom bomb the same?
Yes , the two terms are synonymous with each other .
What is the smallest nuclear weapon?
Atom bomb. Get it? Atom :D
Is the atom bomb and a nuke the same?
Yes, atom bomb and nuke are commonly used terms to refer to nuclear weapons that release destructive energy by splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission. In general, "nuke" is a more colloquial term while "atom bomb" is more formal.
What was used to bomb japan in World War 2 nuclear or hydrogen?
Nuclear. At the time it was called an atom bomb.
What is the name of the nuclear boam of heroshima?

What are the two kinds of nuclear bomb?

What is an atom bomb?
The term atom bomb (or atomic bomb) usually refers to a bomb that obtains its energy solely through the process of nuclear fission.However technically the term is considered interchangeable with nuclear bomb, and can refer to any bomb obtaining its energy through either nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, or any combination of the two processes.
What can a atom bomb cause?
The atom bomb is a type of nuclear weapon. Nuclear weapons can kill entire cities, make air quality unsafe, and kill plants and animals.
What nuclear weapons depend on fission reactions?
The atom bomb
