Is an atom bomb the same as an atomic bomb?
Atomic bombs use nuclear fission to cause near perpetual chains of reactions. Nuclear warheads (Nukes) just sums up all the different types, including hydrogen bombs (which use nuclear fusion, a much more potent type of power) and atomic bombs. So yes, they are the same.
One or more of large merchant vessel ships?
Carriers, battleships, and heavy cruisers. Heavy cruisers had 8" guns, light cruisers had 6" guns.
Was there more male or female slaves and why?
Probably male, because they could do more hard labor. They could lift heavy weights and pull heavy loads.
Does atomic explosion and nuclear explosion mean the same?
This question could be easily misconstrued. While atomic and nuclear explosion mean the same thing, and all atomic bombs are nuclear bombs, not all nuclear bombs are atomic bombs. The more powerful nuclear bombs are hydrogen bombs, and there is a very important fundamental difference between the two. ============================================================== A bomb is fission - the splitting of an atom H bomb is fusion - the joining together of atoms (and much more powerfull)
Which is most powerful a nuke an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb?
An H-Bomb is 1000 times stronger than an atomic bomb. Atomic explosions are based on splitting atoms and is a fission explosion or fission bomb. The Hydrogen bomb (also called H-Bomb) is a Fusion reaction where atoms are forced together. Atomic bombs were used in World War II, Hydrogen bombs have been tested, but not used in war.
What can come from splitting the nuclei of atoms?
More nuclei of more atoms than you started out with, less mass than you started with, and some energy.
The process by which describe the splitting of a large unstable atom into two intermediate size atoms and extra neutrons is called?
Fission to be more specific its nuclear fission...
What does the nuclei of heavy atoms have that light atoms do not have?
The nuclei of heavier atoms simply have more neutrons and protons than do lighter atoms.
What is a molecule of two or more atoms called?
Two or more different atoms bonded together is called a compound.
What do you call energy made from split atoms?
Nuclear fission, made from the splitting of U-238 atoms mixed with a small ratio of U-235 atoms. For more information, visit the Nuclear Energy Institute's websithe @ nei.org
How does nuclear power do?
Nuclear power works by splitting open nuclear atoms. The energy escapes and opens up more nuclear atoms. The scientists use this energy to power homes and appliances.
What is it called When a person votes for candidates for more than one party?
splitting your vote
Why and how do you think atoms combine to form molecules?
Molecules that combine to form larger more complex molecules are called monomers.
What are atoms that are made of more than 1 called?
Multiple atoms bonded together are called molecules.
When a few atoms undergo fission they cause many more atoms to split this process is called an?
When a few atoms undergo fission, they cause many more atoms to split; this process is called an atomic bomb.
What is the answer to 2 or more atoms joined together?
Such a group of atoms is called a molecule.
What can be made of atoms that are different or atoms that are alike?
Two or more atoms that are alike or different are called molecules.
