fission vs fusion
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.
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.
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).
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.
Hydrogen is probably the word. Hydrogen bomb, atomic bomb...
The hydrogen bomb.
One takes large atoms and breaks them into smaller atoms--called fission (a-bomb). The other takes really small atoms and fuses them together to make larger atoms--called fusion (h-bomb).
In WW2 it was the Atomic bomb today it is the Hydrogen 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
The difference between an A-Bomb and H-Bomb is the energy reaction inside them, one of them is nuclear fusion and the other one is nuclear fission. A-Bombs contain a unstable nuclei such as Uranium 235, whiles H-Bombs contain light stable isotopes of hydrogen and sometimes helium. Nuclear fusion is the merging of atoms/particles, whilst nuclear fission is the splitting and break down of a big unstable nuclei.
Yes, both.
A hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb, is more powerful than an atomic bomb. It relies on nuclear fusion, where atoms are combined, to release immense amounts of energy. In comparison, an atomic bomb uses nuclear fission, where atoms are split, to generate explosive energy.
