Why does an atomic bomb release more energy than a conventional chemical bomb?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
An atomic bomb releases more energy than a conventional chemical bomb because the atomic bomb releases binding, or Nuclear Strong Force, energy while the conventional bomb releases chemical energy, and there is far more binding energy (hundreds and thousands of times) than there is chemical energy from the same mass of material.

When you need energy cells release the chemical energy stored in this?
fat
What must a cell release to stay alive?
they must release chemical energy
The amount of energy released from a fission reaction is much greater than the energy released from a chemical reaction because in a fission reaction?
Thebond energy in an atomic nucleus are greater than the energy of chemical bonds.The binding enegy of a nucleon is 7,6 MeV.
What energy forms is the sum of kinetic energy and all forms of potential energy?
What you stated is true for an OBJECT. The energy contained in the 'Substance' that the Object is made of includes its "Atomic Energy", and its Chemical Energy.
Which type of chemical reaction results in release of energy?
An exothermic reaction.
Is atomic energy a non conventional energy?
yes
Is chemical energy the same as atomic energy?
No chemical energy is the energy of changing
What is the type of energy in fuels?
That is called chemical energy - assuming conventional fuel. Nuclear fuel has nuclear energy.
The kind of energy associated with atomic bonds is?
Nuclear energy
How does the energy involved in nuclear processes compare to that of chemical interactions and mechanical processes?
Nuclear energy vastly overshadows the energy from chemical and mechanical energy, because nuclear energy is based on the release of binding energy, which lies at the core of everything. It is the Strong Atomic Force.
What type of energy does a pencil have when you are writing?
A pencil would contain kinetic energy while it is moving, potential energy because it could be dropped and release energy that way, chemical energy because the chemical and atomic bonds in it could break and release energy, and slight heat energy because the friction of the graphite on the paper would cause frictional heating.
What type of energy is in fuels?
That is called chemical energy - assuming conventional fuel. Nuclear fuel has nuclear energy.
What are conventional bombs?
The conventional bombs are the non-nuclear ones. They use a exotermic chemical reaction to obtain a sudden release of great amount of energy. In such weapons, nuclear fission and fussion are not significant source of energy, and radiocativity is not used as part of its offensive power. Regards, Mario/Brazil
Chemical changes release energy?
chemical
What is the chemical energy made by mitochondria?
Mitochondria do not make chemical energy, the release it.
How are nuclear bomb atomic?
They release some of the energy bound in atomic nuclei.
