What were the atoms in the atomic bombs that destroyed hiroshima and nagasaki?
Two isotopes were used. Uranium 235 for Hiroshima. Plutonium 239 for Nagasaki.
Was there nuclear fall out from nagasaki?
Yes, on August 9, 1945, three days after Hiroshima was bombed. It was a different type of bomb from Hiroshima though. The bomb dropped on Hiroshima was made by splitting uranium atoms, and was nicknamed Little Boy. However, the bomb dropped on Nagasaki was plutonium. It was nicknamed Fat Man and was the same type as the first A-bomb tested at Alamogordo, NM.
How do you explain to a 8 year old about hydrogen and atomic bombs?
Hydrogen bombs are caused by atoms fusing together--fusion. Each fusion releases energy. When enough atoms get fused, it causes a big explosion--big enough to wipe out a city.Atomic bombs can also be caused by fission--atoms splitting apart. Each split atom releases energy. If enough atoms get split up the energy released can wipe out cities such as Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Why was spliting the atom nessersary for the Americains to make the bomb blow up in Hiroshima?
The atoms splitting is what causes the explosion, without the technology to cause atoms to split the bomb was just another pile of junk.
Is it possible to destroy a atom?
Yes. An atom is made up of neutrons, protons, and electrons, and it is quite possible to break it up into its parts.that is the wrong answer. they could be broken in to smaller parts. people destroy an atom to make energy, which make an atomic bombKilgor4 writes:I FRICKING LOVE THESE TOPICS. Atoms can be destroyed (and make a huge mess of Hiroshima and Nagasaki) but I want to know if they can be dissolved instantaneously and without the explosions (in a sense, can you build a DECREATOR?)

Why are atoms important and where do you find atoms?
Atoms are important because they make up everything in existence. Every object you can find will be made of atoms.
Effect of an unhealthy environment in human?
un unhealthy environment (EG pollution in china) could result in breathing problems, life shortage, and other contributing factors. Another example is Vietnam, Hiroshima(japan) and Nagasaki (japan) Hiroshima and Nagasaki were victims to Americans atoms bombs in WW2, because of the intense radiation released, it has gone into soil, and infected food and water for years after the war, even now there are still children being born with deformities (the same in Vietnam from the side effects of agent orange) some kids have been known to have cone shaped heads, more than 2 legs , less than two legs and more!

Why is oxygen atoms important?
Oxygen atoms are important because oxygen is necessary to all higher life forms.
Why is it important that gold's atoms are loosely bonded?
What are atoms bounded loosely
What is this substance in which the number of atoms is not important as long as all of the atoms are of the same type?

What makes fluorine so important?

Why are atoms important in the humans muscle development?
they are important cuz they just are!!!!!!! they are important cuz they just are!!!!!!!
