Bomb created by splitting atoms?
A nuclear bomb is created by splitting atoms through a process called nuclear fission. This releases a massive amount of energy in the form of a nuclear explosion.
What is the difference between nuclear bomb and plutonium bomb?
A nuclear bomb is any bomb with any nuclear or atomic material inside it, while a plutonium bomb is a specific type of nuclear bomb. Plutonium could be the nuclear material inside the bomb, and if it is, it's a plutonium bomb.
How is a fission bomb different from a fusion bomb?
A fission bomb relies on nuclear fission (splitting atoms) to release energy, while a fusion bomb relies on nuclear fusion (merging atoms) to release energy. Fusion bombs are more powerful than fission bombs and are often referred to as thermonuclear or hydrogen bombs.
How are slpitting atoms usable?
This is called nuclear fission and it is what powers nuclear reactors and of course the wonderfully horrendous atomic bomb...
What in a nuclear bomb?
its got nuclear waste,atoms wich will be split and other unnmaed chemichals
Hydrogen bomb compared with atomic bomb?
A hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb, is more powerful than an atomic bomb. It relies on nuclear fusion, where atoms are combined, to release immense amounts of energy. In comparison, an atomic bomb uses nuclear fission, where atoms are split, to generate explosive energy.
The atom is the smallest bomb?
Atoms are not bombs themselves. A bomb typically refers to an explosive device designed to release a large amount of energy rapidly, often through a chemical or nuclear reaction. In the context of nuclear weapons, the energy is released through nuclear fission or fusion reactions involving atomic nuclei, not individual atoms.
Difference between atom bomb and hydrogen bomb?
One takes large atoms and breaks them into smaller atoms--called fission (a-bomb). The other takes really small atoms and fuses them together to make larger atoms--called fusion (h-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.
How is nuclear energy put into a bomb?
Let's say somebody makes an atomic bomb using U-235. The nuclear energy was in the U-235 all the time (since it was created in a supernova). The people making the bomb simply gather (and enrich!) the uranium.
What energy transformations are in a nuclear bomb?
In a nuclear bomb, the transformation of nuclear potential energy (from the nuclei of atoms) into thermal energy and kinetic energy occurs during the process of nuclear fission. This causes a rapid release of energy in the form of a powerful explosion.
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.
