What is the difference between fusion and fission atomic bombs?

Good question.
A fusion bomb combines (fuses) light nuclei (hydrogen) into larger nuclei to get its energy. But it needs a fission bomb to start it.
A fission bomb breaks up (fissions) heavy nuclei (uranium/plutonium) into smaller nuclei to get its energy.

What isdifference nuclear fission and nuclear fission?
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
What is the main difference between fission and fusion in terms of chemistry?
fission is the slitting of one element to produce energy but fusion is two element combined to produce that amount of energy.eg fission:Ba and for fusion H.
Nuclear fusion compared to nuclear fission?
Fission is the breaking up of atomic nuclei whereas fusion is joining of nuclei.does not produce as much waste
What is stronger between the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb?
In general, a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb) is more powerful than a fission (atomic) bomb. Fusion bombs use an atomic bomb to begin the fusion reaction.
Could the atomic bomb exist without radioactivity?
fission bomb no, fusion bomb yes.
What is the difference between the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb?
fission vs fusion
Explain the difference between atomic fission and atomic fusion?
The main difference between these two processes is that fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller ones while fusion is the fusing of two or more smaller atoms into a larger one.
What is the difference in the processKEY WORD of fission and fusion?
in atomic science, fission is the splitting of atoms, fusion is the fusing of atoms
What is the difference between the use of fission as an energy source?
The difference between the use of fission and fusion as an energy source is that in fusion reaction, 2 or more light atomic nuclei fuses to form single heavier nucleus while in fission reaction, heavy atomic nucleus is usually splited into smaller nuclei, other particles and radiation.
Is atomic bomb fission or fusion?
Fission.
What is the difference between a atomic submarine and a nuclear submarine?
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 is produced during atomic fission and atomic fusion?
heat
Atomic bomb energy is released by?
Fission and/or fusion of atomic nuclei.
What is the difference between fission and fusion in nuclear bombardment reactions?
im white
What about the atom can make an atomic bomb?
Fission and/or fusion.
Was the atomic bomb used in world war 2 a fission or a fusion bomb?
Fission.
