In Nuclear Bombs, continuous uncontrollable chain reactions (fission) occur. When 1 Uranium-235 atom decays by fission, it produces high speed fission fragments (mostly barium and crypto) that cause the great rise in temperature and 2 or 3 neutrons. When each of those neutrons collide with another Uranium-235 atoms , they decay in the same way producing high speed fission fragments and more neutrons and so a high temperature , speed and explosive waves are created which spread over a large area depending on the amount of uranium in the bomb . Secondly, when the fission fragments have their speed deceased slightly; they also start decaying by Alpha, Beta or Gamma radiations as they are also radioactive. They have long half-lives so they stay in their place (as they take very long time to decay) and cause much harm to our human body, since they are considered to be poisonous. You can also notice how the Japanese people are still affected by the radiations since the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. So they have long term side effect. They are harmful chemicals after all.

What happens when two bombs collide?
This question makes no sense as an atomic bomb is a nuclear bomb and vice versa. They are the same thing.
What bomb was created in Manhattan Project?
Nuclear Bomb.
Which is stronger Nuclear Bomb or Hydrogen Bomb?
Nuclear bombs is all types of bombs that use nuclear energy. It is not a type of bomb,just a category of bombs. hydrogen bomb is the strongest bomb ever, and its blast yield can go up to 100megatons of TNT.
What type of nuclear reaction does the hydrogen bomb rely on?
Nuclear fusion.
Why did the Americans call their nuclear bomb the little boy?
It was the code name for that bomb.
What is nuclear energy mostly used for?
To make deadly Nuclear bomb

Plutonium+Weapons=Nuclear Bomb
How do you put radiation in a sentenc?
The nuclear bomb produced deadly radiation.
How do you put radiation in a simple sentence?

What makes a nuclear explosion so deadly?
magnitude of the blast & fire effectsradiation
What is the difference between nuclear bomb and plutonium bomb?
A nuclear bomb is any bomb with any nuclear or atomic material inside it, while a plutonium bomb is a specific type of nuclear bomb. Plutonium could be the nuclear material inside the bomb, and if it is, it's a plutonium bomb.
Which is more destructive a nuclear bomb or a hydrogen bomb?
the hydrogen bomb, is a nuclear bomb
What is the worlds deadliest bomb?
The bomb capable of causing the most damage would be a large fusion type nuclear weapon, commonly called the H Bomb or Hydrogen Bomb. However, if it is close enough to you, even a very small regular bomb was be as deadly as could be to that person.
Is a bomb a nuclear reaction?
A bomb can be either conventional or nuclear.
How is nuclear energy put into a bomb?
Let's say somebody makes an atomic bomb using U-235. The nuclear energy was in the U-235 all the time (since it was created in a supernova). The people making the bomb simply gather (and enrich!) the uranium.

When did Germany make nuclear bomb?
Germany has not made a nuclear bomb.
