Fission bombs, especially of high yield are unstable and susceptible to a failure mode called "fizzle" in which the neutron chain reaction begins while the fissile material is still in a subcritical configuration. This simply causes the bomb to heat rapidly to the melting point, producing no useful nuclear yield.
The maximum theoretical yield of a pure fission bomb that would not just "fizzle" is estimated to be about one megaton. The largest actual yield of a pure fission bomb was the 500 kiloton Ivy King test of 1952, using a hollow spherical uranium-235 core implosion assembly design with a boron-aluminum alloy chain filling the hollow core to prevent the large amount of uranium from undergoing an accidental predetonation/"fizzle" due to stray neutrons or spontaneous fission neutrons (the chain was rapidly removed by a motor shortly before detonation of the explosive lenses).
Fusion bombs (aka hydrogen bombs) have no theoretical limits on yield, you can add as much fusion fuel as needed with no concerns over instability or "fizzle". They are triggered by small fission bombs that create the high temperature and pressure conditions needed to start fusion. Overall the cost/kiloton ratio is lower for a fusion bomb than a fission bomb (although the design is far more complicated).
A hydrogen or fusion bomb will be ten times more powerful than the original fission atomic bomb.
There is no such thing. The hydrogen bomb is a very complicated mechanism, not a chemical!
no such thing. maybe you meant hydrogen bomb.
A hydrogen bomb is approximately 4.87 times more powerful than an atom bomb. What makes these bombs so powerful is that hydrogen is an extremely inflammable and explosive gas. When the bomb is released, the special coating used on its shell captures tons of friction, which heats the bomb. Then the detonator button is pressed, and the bomb blows up. Also, if the bomb comes in contact with the ground, before the button is pressed, then the heat absorbed by the bomb will set fire to the hydrogen inside and blow the bomb up.
deuterium
the hydrogen bomb, is a nuclear bomb
Yes, that is the exact advantage of the radiation implosion hydrogen bomb design. Just keep adding more stages with more fuel to get as large a yield as desired.
What size of Hydrogen Bomb? How many megatons? the biggest size of hydrogen bomb can done ...........
A hydrogen bomb is an atom bomb; just one that uses hydrogen.
The Hydrogen bomb.
The Hydrogen Bomb .
hydrogen bomb
the hydrogen bomb has never been used in war
A bomb that splits a hydrogen atom, which literally explodes the air.
The 50 Megaton "Tsar Bomba" hydrogen bomb tested by the USSR in 1961 is the strongest hydrogen bomb ever detonated. The 10 Megaton "Ivy Mike" hydrogen bomb tested by the U.S. in 1952 is the physically largest hydrogen bomb ever detonated.
