Cobalt bomb is not much destructive, actually it's not a 'bomb' exactly. It's merely a device used as a source of gamma rays and is used in medicine and other applications.
The only dangers that could be associated with it is a possibility of contamination when some serious mishandling and failure happens.
The cobalt bomb is a theoretical type of nuclear weapon designed to produce massive amounts of radioactive cobalt-60. It has not been built or tested because of the extreme consequences it would have on the environment.
In 1732, Georg Brandt, a Swedish chemist, discovered cobalt. He was attempting to prove that the ability of certain minerals to color glass blue was due to an unknown element, and not to bismuth, as was commonly believed at the time.
Yes, cobalt chloride and cobalt dichloride refer to the same compound. Cobalt chloride is also known as cobalt(II) chloride or cobalt dichloride, as it consists of one cobalt ion and two chloride ions.
An atomic bomb is a powerful explosive weapon that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions. When detonated, it releases a massive amount of energy in the form of a nuclear explosion, causing widespread devastation and destruction in its blast radius.
Cobalt oxides are: cobalt(I) oxide, cobalt(II) oxide and cobalt(II,III) oxide.
(Rhymes with "Bunt") Actually I think the C bomb refers to the Radioactive Cobalt 60 bomb.
The rule of thumb is that the destructive power of an atomic bomb increases exponentially with its size.

The cobalt bomb is a modified hydrogen bomb containing a jacket of cobalt. Natural cobalt is isotopically pure stable cobalt-59 and when it captures a high energy fusion neutron it transmutes to the highly radioactive isotope cobalt-60. This dramatically increases the fallout produced. The cobalt bomb was proposed for use as an area denial weapon, as the cobalt-60 fallout contaminated area would be completely uninhabitable for roughly 25 years. But it never made it to development as an actual weapon by any country. You simply cannot control where the fallout will go or its distribution, making it as dangerous to the army using it as to the army it is used on.
Enormous destructive power.
A hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear bomb) is more destructive than a regular nuclear bomb (fission bomb). Hydrogen bombs release much larger amounts of energy and have the potential to create significantly more devastation and damage.
Sea Hunt - 1958 Cobalt Bomb 3-6 was released on: USA: 13 February 1960
The nuclear bomb
well it was close but london treated its first patient but
It is the most destructive weapon ever created.
There is no such thing as a cobalt bomb, such as described in various comic books in the past. The only known (non-classified) thermonuclear bombs are the A-Bomb and the H-Bomb. The H-Bomb is much more powerful and expensive, but several countries already have it. Actually I'll answer this myself... The Gold-Bomb. Replacing about 1 ton of Uranium tamper on the secondary with 1 ton of gold would produce a very practical "salted" high contamination bomb. but the gold is probably too expensive for anyone to try it. The cobalt bomb is impractical because cobalt's capture crosssection is too small for high energy fusion neutrons. See Chuck Hansen's "Swords of Armageddon" Volume V for details.
It is almost never used, but it is the most destructive.
