Pure fission atom bombs contain no gas.

Atom bombs using a technique called fusion boosting have a small canister of deuterium and/or tritium gas (hydrogenisotopes). Some of this gas is injected into the sealed hollow pit (core) of the bomb as the last stage of arming.

Compare a hydrogen bomb and an atom bomb?

both r useless Sometimes "atom" bomb is also used to describe a hydrogen bomb. Strictly, historically speaking, the atom bomb works via the energy released when a heavy atom nucleus such as uranium is split (called nuclear fission). This is also the energy source for nuclear power stations. A hydrogen bomb works via the energy released on fusing (called nuclear fusion) two light atoms (such as hydrogen) together - the huge pressure needed is derived from an atom bomb. This situation arises because the atoms towards in the middle of the periodic table are more stable, than those nearer the ends. A lot of electricity is derived nowadays from nuclear fission (nuclear power stations) but no significant power has yet been derived from nuclear fusion, though a lot of work is being done on it.


Who helped to create the atom bomb?

The atom bomb was primarily created by the Manhattan Project, a research and development project during World War II that involved scientists from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Physicists such as J. Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi, and Leo Szilard played key roles in its development.


Which organelle is called 'Atom bomb'?

The nucleus is sometimes referred to as the 'atom bomb' of the cell due to its central role in storing genetic information and controlling cell activities. When the nucleus is damaged or disrupted, it can have catastrophic effects on the cell's function and viability.


How powerful is a hydrogen bomb?

A hydrogen bomb is approximately 4.87 times more powerful than an atom bomb. What makes these bombs so powerful is that hydrogen is an extremely inflammable and explosive gas. When the bomb is released, the special coating used on its shell captures tons of friction, which heats the bomb. Then the detonator button is pressed, and the bomb blows up. Also, if the bomb comes in contact with the ground, before the button is pressed, then the heat absorbed by the bomb will set fire to the hydrogen inside and blow the bomb up.
