the atom bomb was used not once, but twice. It was used on two cities in Japan, Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

Is a atom bomb more powerful than a h-bomb?

No the atom bomb is not more powerful then the H-bomb


Is the hydrogen bomb is more destructive than the atom bomb and why?

Yes, the hydrogen bomb is more destructive than the atom bomb. This is because it relies on nuclear fusion, which releases much more energy than nuclear fission, the process used in atomic bombs. The sheer power of the hydrogen bomb makes it capable of causing significantly greater devastation.


Which is more destructive an atom bomb or a hydrigen bomb?

A hydrogen bomb is more destructive than an atom bomb. A hydrogen bomb releases much more explosive energy through nuclear fusion reactions, whereas an atom bomb relies on nuclear fission reactions. As a result, a hydrogen bomb can produce a significantly larger explosion and more widespread damage.


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.


Are atom bombs THE most dangerous bombs?

All bombs are dangerous, but the atom bomb is certainly one of the most devastating. The only type of bomb thus far created that is more powerful than an atom bomb is a hydrogen bomb, which is the type of nuclear bomb that uses fusion instead of just fission. The Tsar Bomba, which is the single most powerful deviceever used, let alone bomb, is an example of a hydrogen bomb. Its yield was rated at a staggering 56 megatons of force. I've added a link below if you'd like more information.


Why is Hydrogen bomb more destructive than atom bomb?

A hydrogen bomb is more destructive than an atomic bomb because it has hydrogen. Hydrogen is highly flammable, and if a hydrogen bomb exploded with enough force and just enough fire, a huge wide area of a fiery explosion will occur. This is more destructive than the atomic bomb. Fire basically engulfs everything and destroys all in its path, making for an effective bomb.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Wrong!Hydrogen does not burn in a hydrogen bomb, it fuses releasing atomic energy too. This fusion reaction is over in microseconds, much faster than combustion can start; also it reaches temperatures in the tens of millions of degrees, much hotter than any chemical fire or fission bomb. The reason a fusion bomb is usually more destructive than a fission bomb is the fusion bomb has no upper limit on yield, the fission bomb cannot be built with a yield over 1 megaton. One can just keep adding fusion stages until you get the desired yield.


Why is an ounce more than milliliter?

If you had an ounce of something and a ml of somethng, the ounce would weigh more. The people who made the names for these decided an ounce would be more than a ml and a ml would be less than an ounce.


What bomb is more powerful than the atomic bomb?

The hydrogen bomb, thought to be 10 times the power of the atom bomb. Well, the atmoic bomb doesn't utilize fusion and therefore is not as powerful as the gay bomb.BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH


Compare a hydrogen bomb and an atom bomb?

both r useless Sometimes "atom" bomb is also used to describe a hydrogen bomb. Strictly, historically speaking, the atom bomb works via the energy released when a heavy atom nucleus such as uranium is split (called nuclear fission). This is also the energy source for nuclear power stations. A hydrogen bomb works via the energy released on fusing (called nuclear fusion) two light atoms (such as hydrogen) together - the huge pressure needed is derived from an atom bomb. This situation arises because the atoms towards in the middle of the periodic table are more stable, than those nearer the ends. A lot of electricity is derived nowadays from nuclear fission (nuclear power stations) but no significant power has yet been derived from nuclear fusion, though a lot of work is being done on it.


Which holds more an ounce or a tablespoon?

An ounce holds more than a tablespoon.


Is a gram more than an ounce?

No, an ounce is more than a gram. One ounce is equivalent to approximately 28.35 grams.


If atom are the finest particle than why atom bomb are getting blast?

They split the atoms which causes a great release of energy.
