What is the explosive force of one Hydrogen atom?

Answer 1

One hydrogen atom by itself, although it releases quite a bit of energy for its size, is probably not really all that much. However, when you have a lot of them (such as in the case of the H-bomb) it is a completely different story...) Answer 2. The H-bomb doesn't use hydrogen ( 1H ) as an explosive. The first US thermonuclear device used tritium ( 3H ). It exploded, but was much too heavy to be a weapon. Since then, operational weapons use lithium deuteride ( 6Li 2H ). Normal hydrogen 1H will not explode. It will fuse if subjected to the temperatures and pressures found inside a star; that's how our sun stays hot. The fusion inside the sun is a complex series of reactions, the end result of which is four hydrogen atoms becoming a helium atom 4 1H -> 4He + 26 MeV (and some other bits and pieces). This process has a rather low probability in a star like ours - that is why it has been shining for about 5 billion years and will go on for another 5 billion without the hydrogen ever exploding. So, the energy derived from hydrogen fusion is about 6.5 MeV per atom, but we have no way to use it, peacefully or otherwise.

Answer 2

The explosive force of one hydrogen atom would be minimal as it is the lightest and simplest atom, consisting of just one proton and one electron. Hydrogen atoms are not typically explosive by themselves, but rather combine with other elements to form molecules that can exhibit explosive properties.
