The key elements to making fission bombs are: Uranium and Plutonium. The specific isotopes of interest are: Uranium-233, Uranium-235, and Plutonium-239.
But many other elements are needed to make a functional bomb. As a very rough guess, about a quarter of the elements on the periodic table are needed somewhere in the bomb, roughly 23 different elements in total.
Other elements that can be used to make atomic or thermonuclear bombs include beryllium, lithium, and thorium. These elements are used in the production of certain types of nuclear weapons to enhance their yield and efficiency.
either uranium or plutonium may be used in fission bombs, hydrogen and/or lithium may be used in fusion bombs.
The atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II used uranium-235 and plutonium-239 as their primary elements. The bomb dropped on Hiroshima (Little Boy) used uranium-235, while the bomb dropped on Nagasaki (Fat Man) used plutonium-239.
Cesium is not a typical material used in the construction of atomic bombs. The primary materials used in atomic bombs are uranium or plutonium. Cesium may be a byproduct of nuclear reactions in atomic bombs, but it is not a key component.
The primary elements used in the atomic bomb are uranium or plutonium. These elements undergo a process called nuclear fission, where their atoms split apart, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat, light, and radiation. This energy is harnessed to create the explosive power of an atomic bomb.

Yes, uranium can be used in atomic bombs.
Uranium which is a fuel is used in atomic bombs and in nuclear power stations.
The atomic bombs used during World War II used fission to produce the nuclear chain reaction.
either uranium or plutonium may be used in fission bombs, hydrogen and/or lithium may be used in fusion bombs.
The atomic bombs were delivered by the USS Indianoppolis
The atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II used uranium-235 and plutonium-239 as their primary elements. The bomb dropped on Hiroshima (Little Boy) used uranium-235, while the bomb dropped on Nagasaki (Fat Man) used plutonium-239.
They used nuclear and atomic bombs.
Conventional bombs - with chemical explosives.
No mineral. Two metals- uranium and plutonium- are used in atomic bombs.
No, at no time have the Japanese ever had atomic bombs!
