Nothing but the terminology. "Atomic" was the term used in the early days of nuclear weapons and nuclear power. "Nuclear" (describing the fission process of nuclear power and nuclear weapons) became the term when fusion bombs became reality, as Atomic can refer to both fission and fusion processes.
What else can I help you with?
What are the difference between atomic fission to atomic nuclear?
The difference between atomic fission and atomic nuclear is that they both have something to do with atomic and war. Hope this helps I am kind of in a rush......Smile!
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor and those in an atomic bomb?
Nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor are controlled reactions. The reactions in the atomic bomb are not controlled reactions
Did you know Difference between atomic power production and nuclear power production?
There is none.
What is the difference between an atomic bomb and a nuclear weapon?
An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that releases energy through nuclear fission (splitting of atomic nuclei). Nuclear weapon is a broader term that encompasses atomic bombs, as well as hydrogen bombs which release energy through nuclear fusion (combining atomic nuclei).
Is there a difference between an atomic bomb and a nuclear bomb?
There isn't much difference in these terms. Both refer to nuclear weapons, and they are general terms that can pretty much be used interchangeably.
What is a suffix for submarine?
The codes are- for conventional () non nuclear powered) Submarines- SS ( for example the U.S.S. is SS-297. Atomic subs are SSN or SSBn - BN if fitted for Ballistic missiles such as the Polaris or Trident types ( there is no Submarine Called the Polaris- it is a guided missile!) so SS- submarine, SSN- Nuclear submarine- SSBN- Nuclear submarine- Missile type.
What is the difference between a nuclear decay from a chemical reaction?
Nuclear decay involves the contents of the atomic nucleus, the protons and neutrons. Chemical reactions involve the electrons.
What is the difference between nuclear power and atomic power?
Nuclear power and atomic power refer to the same thing, which is the generation of electricity through nuclear reactions. The terms are often used interchangeably to describe the process of producing energy from splitting atoms in a controlled manner.
What is the duration of The Atomic Submarine?
The duration of The Atomic Submarine is 1.2 hours.
When was The Atomic Submarine created?
The Atomic Submarine was created on 1959-11-29.
Is an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb more powerful?
The terms "atomic bomb" and "nuclear bomb" are general terms and can pretty much be used interchangeably. That said, there isn't any difference between them, and one is not more powerful than the other in that light.
What is mass defect associated with?
Mass defect is associated with nuclear reactions and nuclear binding energy. It refers to the difference between the measured mass of an atomic nucleus and the sum of the masses of its individual protons and neutrons. This difference is released as energy when the nucleus is formed.
