either uranium or plutonium may be used in fission bombs, hydrogen and/or lithium may be used in fusion bombs.
Hydrogen was used by Dalton as his standard for atomic mass.
Deuterium is a stable isotope of hydrogen, with one proton and one neutron in its nucleus. It is used in the fusion stage of a hydrogen bomb to initiate the explosive chain reaction.
Hydrogen is the element commonly used in balloons that can be explosive when mixed with oxygen in the presence of a spark or flame.
The first staged hydrogen bomb was developed by a team at Los Alamos, NM in 1952. It was not a practical bomb as it used cryogenic liquid deuterium-tritium and required a refrigeration system larger than itself to keep it cold.The first practical "hydrogen" bomb was developed by a team at Arzamas-16 in the USSR in 1953. It used dry lithium deuteride, however did not use staging like the 1952 US bomb did so its yield was limited. It was likely done mostly for propaganda purposes. In modern terminology it would be considered a dry boosted fission bomb, not a fusion (hydrogen) bomb.The first practical staged hydrogen bomb was developed by a team at Los Alamos, NM in 1954. It used dry lithium deuteride.The second practical staged hydrogen bomb was developed by a team at Arzamas-16 in the USSR in 1955. It used dry lithium deuteride.In the US the key central concepts of the hydrogen bomb were developed by Stanislaw Ulam and Edward Teller, in the USSR the same concepts were developed by Andre Sakharov.
the hydrogen bomb has never been used in war
Transmutation occurs when a fusion bomb (H-bomb) detonates: The Primary (A-bomb/fission) converts a heavy element like plutonium or uranium into lighter elements, such as strontium, etc... The Secondary (H-bomb/fusion part) converts a light element into heavier elements, like Hydrogen into Helium.
A traditional nuclear fission bomb is used as a trigger in a hydrogen bomb. The explosion from the fission bomb generates the high temperatures and pressures needed to initiate the fusion reaction in the hydrogen bomb.

hydrogen
The element first used for fission in an atomic bomb is uranium.
Apparently it was plutonium which I think is element 295.Plutonium is element 94.Plutonium was used in the Gadget at Trinity.Uranium was used in the first bomb dropped on Japan the Little Boy at Hiroshima.Plutonium was used in the second bomb dropped on Japan the Fatman at Nagasaki.
None. The hydrogen bomb has never been used in war.
Hydrogen, in the form of liquid deuterium and tritium isotopes. The test shot was the 1952 Ivy Mike device.
no but it was almost in Vietnam
yes
Nuclear fusion.
