How a nuclear bomb works?
Well, the technical explanation is very complicated, so I will make it more simple: there are the fission bomb, and the thermonuclear bomb. The fission bomb makes an explosion through the splitting of atom. Atom is the smallest measurement. There are neutrons and photons in a atom. But when you split the atom to make a big explosion, you do not use any atom. We usually use an atom of uranium-235. When the uranium atom is split, the normal amount of neutrons or photons does not come out. Then the neutrons release lots of energy! (Very simple explanation: A fission bomb is a bomb that uses energy from splitting uncontrolled atoms. And a thermonuclear bomb is just opposite to fission bomb, it gets energy from fusion of atoms to make a heavier one.
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.
Is a bomb an example of nuclear energy?
Yes, radioactive decay results in the release of nuclear energy. The radioactive decay of an atom is the result of changes in the atom's nucleus, so energy released will be nuclear energy by definition.
What is stronger a nuke or atom bomb?
atom bomb
Alfred Nobel invented what?
he invented the dynamite or the atom bomb
What energy changes in an atom bomb?
Atomic bomb is a very danger bomb. IT emits the nucleus energy.

What does the atom bomb have to do with atoms?
cause the atomic bomb was suposed to destroy the japanise and end the war.
How does the nuclear bomb relate to the atom?
It gets its energy from the atomic nucleus.

The atom is the smallest bomb?
An atom is not a bomb.
How do you differentiate production of energy in an atom bomb and a nuclear reactor?
an atom bomb is uncontrolled and the reaction is over in a few microsecondsa reactor is controlled and the reaction can continueuninterrupted for years or longer

If atom are the finest particle than why atom bomb are getting blast?
They split the atoms which causes a great release of energy.
An atom bomb is based on the priniciple of?
Equivalence of mass and energy. E = m c2
Why was nuclear energy made?
Firstly to make the atom bomb in WW2. After that to make electricity
What is stronger a nuke or atom bomb?
atom bomb
