The U.S. Ivy Mike test on Enewetak Atoll on November 1. 1952 used a device called Sausage containing a cryogenic mixture of liquid deuterium and tritium, both isotopes of the element hydrogen. A rod of plutonium called the "sparkplug" ran down the center to start the fusion reaction and around the outside was a 5 ton uranium "tamper" to hold the Sausage together for a few extra microseconds.
Above the Sausage was a TX-5 boosted fission primary atomic bomb which provided the x-rays and neutrons needed by the Teller-Ulam design to ignite the Sausage secondary. The TX-5 atomic bomb contained a composite plutonium/uranium core with tritium (an isotope of hydrogen) boost gas, used a polonium/beryllium neutron source, surrounded by a uranium "tamper" and around that an aluminum "pusher" and around that 92 chemical explosive lenses.
The entire device device was encased in a 12 inch thick steel (iron, carbon, etc. depending on alloy) cylindrical casing.

What element was found in the debris from the first H bomb?
Lithium-7 was found in the debris from the first H-bomb explosion, known as Ivy Mike, which took place in 1952.
What was discovered in the ashes of the first h-bomb?
The discovery in the ashes of the first H-bomb was the element einsteinium. This element was created during the nuclear fusion reactions that occurred in the bomb. Einsteinium is a synthetic element named after physicist Albert Einstein.
How many elements are in the 1st row of the periodic table?

What are the elements in C6H8O7?
The elements are Carbon (C) Hydrogen(H) Oxygen(O)
How many elments use in bomb?
It's best to clarify your question as it's not clear what you're asking about - whether it's about the number of elements in a bomb (like explosive components), or the types of elements used in a bomb (such as chemical elements). Feel free to provide more context for a more specific answer.
What kills more h-bomb or a-bomb?
different letters in the alphabetAn "A-bomb" is usually a fission bomb (plutonium or Uranium fissions = splits into lighter elements)An "H-bomb" is a fusion bomb wherein Hydrogen (or some isotope of it) "fuses" into heavier elements. Often an H-bomb needs the energy of an A-bomb to start its nuclear reaction but the output is SO much greater that the A-bombs energy output is dwarfed by the enormous fusion explosion.
Where was the first h-bomb dropped?
November 1, 1952 was the day of the first H bomb being dropped in the Pacific. It was dropped at Enewatek Atoll.
Who created of the h-bomb?

What does the H represent in the table of elements?
H is the symbol for hydrogen. The first of the elements.
What element was found in the debris from the first H bomb?
Lithium-7 was found in the debris from the first H-bomb explosion, known as Ivy Mike, which took place in 1952.
Why is it coincidental that Russia built its first H-bomb right after the US invented the world's first H-bomb?
It isn't really. Everyone was in a race to build it. The great fear was Hitler would have it first.
