that's what makes it work: a very sudden release of nuclear energy. This takes only 1 to 2 microseconds in a typical atomic bomb, a bit longer in a hydrogen bomb as each stage has to detonate the next one.

What 2 types of energy does nuclear bombs use?
Chemical energy- to begin the explosion- and nuclear energy- the main explosion.
What type of energy do atoms and molecules contain?
Nuclear. Hence Nuclear bombs. Which shows they contain a LOT of energy. A LOT.
What kind of energy conversions takes place in a nuclear bomb explosion?
Nuclear mass --> energy conversion is most of it. Conventional explosives start it.
What are the forms of energy most commonly released when matter is converted into energy in a nuclear explosion?
Heat and Light
What are the method of controlling nuclear explosion?
nuclear explosion?
What are the causes of a nuclear explosion?
Sudden release (in a few microseconds) of nuclear energy via fission, fusion, or a combination of both.
Which is a disadvantage of nuclear energy?
Nuclear explosion produce radiation May create a melt down
What causes a nuclear explosion?
An uncontrolled release of nuclear binding energy. This can be either by fission or fusion or some mixture of both.
Does nuclear energy contain water?
no. most reactors use water as coolant and/or moderator, but nuclear energy is energy and contains no matter.
Is nuclear power the answer to your energy needs?
Nuclear Power is NOT NECESSARY. So many people die when there's a nuclear explosion. It is also really bad for the environment.
What are the negatives about using Nuclear Energy?
This is not correct. Assuming "Using Nuclear Energy" means using it to generate electricity in a reactor. A nuclear reactor is a power plant, that uses nuclear fission to eventually generate electricity. An atom bomb also uses nuclear fission to generate energy causing an explosion. However, due to fundamental differences between the two a nuclear reactor cannot explode like an atom bomb.
What happened some years ago in Russia from nuclear explosion?
When and what explosion? One of the nuclear test shots. If so which?Remember Chernobyl was not a nuclear explosion, it was a steam explosion and graphite fire.
