a hydrogen bomb is based on the principle of nuclear fusion. 4 hydrogen nulcei combine to form a helium nuclei and release energy. But fusion is only possible at high temperatures. Hence a nuclear fission reaction is carried out to get a high temperature.
practical hydrogen bombs actually use the solid chemical lithium deuteride, not hydrogen as their fuel. neutrons from the bomb's fissioning plutonium "sparkplug" split the lithium nuclei to produce tritium, which then undergoes fusion with the deuterium. this deuterium-tritium fusion happens at far lower temperatures and pressures than the 4 hydrogen fusion mentioned above requires.

What can a hydrogen bomb do?
A Hydrogen bomb is nearly 1000 times stronger than an atom bomb, the reason for this is the methods in which they are made. Atomic bombs are made from the process of nuclear fission, in which two atoms crash into each other releasing a chain reaction of exploding atoms, hence the supernova, and shockwave. For a hydrogen bomb the process used is nuclear fusion, in which two atoms are fused. In this case, two hydrogen atoms are used. These two hydrogen atoms form a helium atom while releasing an enormous amount of energy. Leading to my point that a hydrogen bomb can destroy everything in a radius of about 40 miles.
What element is used to make a hydrogen bomb?
A hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb, uses isotopes of hydrogen such as deuterium and tritium. These isotopes undergo fusion reactions to release a huge amount of energy, which is the principle behind the explosive power of a hydrogen bomb.
What is the molecular formula of a hydrogen bomb?
There is no such thing. The hydrogen bomb is a very complicated mechanism, not a chemical!
What year was the hydrogen bomb created?
The hydrogen bomb was first successfully tested in 1952 by the United States.
Who invented the hydrogen bomb?
The hydrogen bomb was invented by a team of American scientists led by Edward Teller. The first successful test of the hydrogen bomb was conducted by the United States in 1952.
What bomb was made after the A-bomb?
The Hydrogen bomb.
What new bomb was made after the atomic bomb by the us?
The hydrogen bomb.
What made edward teller famous?

What bomb was invented after the a-bomb?
The Hydrogen Bomb .
Which is more destructive a nuclear bomb or a hydrogen bomb?
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.
What is an h-bomb?
hydrogen bomb
