Severely over simplifying things:
In a fission bomb ultra isotopicly pure Uranium-235, Uranium-233, and/or Plutonium-239.
In a fusion bomb lithium and deuterium (heavy hydrogen) in the form of solid lithium-deuteride.

What is the use of plutonium in a nuclear bomb?
Plutonium is the core of a nuclear weapon; the nuclear fission release an enormous quantity of energy and radiations.
What element is the end product of the nuclear reactions taking place in the Sun's core?
Helium
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.
Is U-235 used in nuclear weapons?
Yes. U-235 is one of the two primary fissile materials used in nuclear weapons. The other is Pu-239. They are used as the core for the A-Bomb, and as the primary for the H-Bomb.
The element that is used as a ingredient in nuclear weapons?
Uranium, Plutonium, Hydrogen, Lithium (depending on the specific bomb design)
Are there explosives in a nuclear bomb?
A nuclear bomb contains a radioactive element that is caused to react at a certain time, so technically no.
How heavy are nuclear bomb in the film the core?
I doubt the movie says.
What is the use of plutonium in a nuclear bomb?
Plutonium is the core of a nuclear weapon; the nuclear fission release an enormous quantity of energy and radiations.
What is the difference between a atomic bomb and a nuclear core?
An atomic bomb is a complete deliverable bomb, including all nonnuclear components. The nuclear core is a rather small part, typically between 2 to 3 inches in diameter that contains the fissile fuel that when made supercritical by conventional explosives in the bomb fissions and provides the energy to drive the actual nuclear explosion.
What was the nuclear core of the atomic bomb?
fissile material: highly enriched uranium or plutonium
How do you create the element Chaos in Doodle Devil on the Ipod?
war+nuclear bomb
How many nuclear bombs?
there were two types of nuclear bombs. A "gun type" bomb and an implosion type one with a plutonium core
What can prevent nuclear explosions?
The only way to stop a nuclear explosion is the disarming of the bomb either by cutting the bomb's power supply, the removal of the plutomium/uranium core or by disarming the explosive trigger.
What the A bomb?
An A Bomb also known as the Atomic Bomb or Nuclear bomb is a high powered explosive that is created with a nuclear element such as Uranium. Created in 1945 during the Manhattan Project, only used twice during war; both by the USA on Japan
Which was the original element used in bombs?
If we are talking about the nuclear bombs used in ww2, 1 plutonium bomb and 1 uranium bomb.
What element is transformed in nuclear fusion in the sun's core?
We understand that hydrogen atoms are fused into helium in the sun's core.
Is a nuclear bomb the same as an h-bomb?
No, a nuclear bomb is simply a radioactive core that is detonated via nuclear fission. In simpler terms, the radioactive element's atoms are split, which causes a chain reaction releasing an intense amount of radiation and energy. A hydrogen bomb, on the other hand, uses a nuclear bomb to detonate hydrogen, which, during the "explosion", although that is not exactly what it is, is ignited and ignites releasing more energy than a nuclear bomb. A hydrogen bomb has never been used during warfare because nuclear weapons were outlawed during the Geneva Conventions (Protocol I Articles 51 and 54, which state that indiscriminate attacks, or attacks that target civilians or indirectly kill mass numbers of civilians, are considered a war crime).
