The original attomic bombs were fission weapons- heavy elements such as uranium and plutonium were fissioned (broken apart) into lighter elements, releasing energy. So called hydrogen bombs use fusion as part of their process. Very light elements, such as hydrogen, are fused (mashed together) and become heavier elements, releasing energy. You should note that fusion bombs usually use a fission weapon to start the nuclear reaction.

What is the difference between the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb?
fission vs fusion
What sort of explosives made an atom bomb?
Atom Bomb = Uranium H-Bomb = Hydrogen
What was hydrogen bomb?
A bomb that splits a hydrogen atom, which literally explodes the air.
What is the different between atomic bomb and hydrogen bombs?
The main difference between atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs is the source of their energy. Atomic bombs rely on nuclear fission (splitting atoms), while hydrogen bombs use a two-stage process involving both fission and fusion (combining atoms). Hydrogen bombs are more powerful and destructive than atomic bombs.
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.
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.
What is the difference between atom bombs and hydrogen bombs?
An atomic bomb is a fission bomb, which uses a type of heavy radioactive metal (usually uranium 235 or plutonium 239). Neutrons split this metal up, resulting in a release of a lot of energy (this is what happens in nuclear power stations). A hydrogen bomb is a fusion bomb, which comes in two parts: a fission device (A-bomb) and a fuel cell composed of hydrogen. The fission device is detonated and the radiation fuses the hydrogen together to form helium, thus also releasing a lot of energy (this is what happens in stars).
What is the difference between a bagel and an atom bomb?
da difference between a bagel and an atomic bomb is dat a bagel is something dat u eat and an atomic bomb is something dat is used n war and to blow up something like Hiroshima
Is the atom bomb and the hydrogen bomb the same thing?
No. Atomic bombs use fission, hydrogen bombs use fusion (and are more powerful)
What type of bomb replaced the atom bomb as the new weapon of mass destruction after World War 2?
Hydrogen bomb
What is the difference between a hydrogen bomb and an Uranium bomb and which one is more powerful?
Hydrogen bomb gets some of its energy from fusion, uranium or plutonium bomb gets all of it from fission. Either can be more powerful, depending on the design. The most powerful bombs built have all been hydrogen bombs.
What was used to bomb japan in World War 2 nuclear or hydrogen?
Nuclear. At the time it was called an atom bomb.
