Which is stronger Nuclear Bomb or Hydrogen Bomb?
Nuclear bombs is all types of bombs that use nuclear energy. It is not a type of bomb,just a category of bombs. hydrogen bomb is the strongest bomb ever, and its blast yield can go up to 100megatons of TNT.
What elements are in atom bombs?
if the bomb is a fission bomb it will use uranium 235 for fuel. if the bomb is a thermonuclear bomb (fusion) it will use the element hydrogen and an isotope of hydrogen for fuel.
What is the difference between a hydrogen bomb and a nuclear bomb?
Gunpowder, TNT, C4 plastic explosive, nitroglycerin, etc. all release chemical energy that has nothing to do with the nuclei of the atoms in the chemicals. Any 'bomb' that makes an explosion with nuclear energy is a 'nuclear' bomb. The "Hydrogen Bomb" is one of them. So far, devices have been built and tested that use the atomic nucleus to make explosions in two different general ways: -- "fission" . . . the nuclear energy is released when one heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter ones. This device is popularly known as the "Atomic Bomb". -- "fusion" . . . the nuclear energy is released when two light atomic nuclei join together to form a single one. This device is popularly known as the "Hydrogen Bomb".
Whats the difference between nuclear chemistry and nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is, primarily, the controlled (or, in a bomb, the uncontrolled) release of binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) in the nucleus of an atom by the process of fission or fusion. All nuclear power plants and the Atomic bomb use fission. The Sun and the Hydrogen bomb use fusion1. Nuclear chemistry, on the other hand, is the interrelationship between electron fields of various atoms as they interact to form various compounds, releasing and/or absorbing energy as they do so. Instead of the Strong Atomic Force, the electron field participate in the Electromagnetic Force, one of the other three primary forces. (The other two being the Weak Atomic Force, and Gravity.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1Technically, the Hydrogen bomb also uses fission. It requires so much energy to initiate the fusion reaction that we use an Atomic bomb to set off the Hydrogen bomb.
Is the atom bomb and the hydrogen bomb the same thing?
No. Atomic bombs use fission, hydrogen bombs use fusion (and are more powerful)
Why hydrogen bomb is harmful for living beings What is the use of making a hydrogen bomb why only hydrogen bomb?
The Hydrogen bomb being harmful to humans should be realtivley self explanatory... making them was to use them as a deterent to the russians or any other nuclear aggressor. hydrogen bombs were not the only kind that were developed. there were others as well.
What is the process when hydrogen nuclei combine with each other to form helium and other heavier elements?
Nuclear fusion. A tiny amount of mass is also annihilated and released as energy (used in the "hydrogen bomb", and currently the focus of intense research to create usable energy for domestic and industrial use, in place of energy derived in conventional nuclear power stations involving fission of heavy elements, as was also used in the original "atom bomb").
Can we use hydrogen bomb to minimize tsunami?
Yes
What type of reaction does the hydrogen bomb use?
Fission
Briefly how does a hydrogen bomb works and how it is different from an atom bomb?
In short A-bombs use nuclear fission, H-bombs use nuclear fusion. An atom bomb is more commonly a reference to fission bombs which release energy through nuclear fission. Fission is the the chain reaction in which unstable nuclei such as in uranium break down when hit by a neutron (from another breaking down nucleus) Hydrogen bombs on the hand use nuclear fussion is which two hydrogen nuclei are forced together to form helium and release energy. This is the reaction that occurs in stars and it more powerful. H-bombs as a result of their fuel are "cleaner" as they release energy but less nuclear fallout (radiactive material left over)
Does oxygen give us energy?
Yes, but not directly. Your mitochondria must "burn" hydrogen and oxygen to form water AND transfer that energy to ADP in order to form ATP, That energy you can use.
What organelle uses energy?
The mitochondria "gives" energy, [oxidizes hydrogen to form water and ATP] (and the chloroplast) All the rest use it.
