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.
What else can I help you with?
What elements besides uranium plutonium and hydrogen can be used to make atomic or thermonuclear bombs?
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.
What element was used to make a atomic bomb?
either uranium or plutonium may be used in fission bombs, hydrogen and/or lithium may be used in fusion bombs.
What elements was used in the atomic 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.
Is cesium in atomic bombs?
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.
Elements in atomic bomb?
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.
What elements besides uranium plutonium and hydrogen can be used to make atomic or thermonuclear bombs?
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.
Is uranium in atomic bombs?
Yes, uranium can be used in atomic bombs.
What is used in atomic bombs?
Uranium which is a fuel is used in atomic bombs and in nuclear power stations.
Did the atomic bomb use fussion for its explosive power?
The atomic bombs used during World War II used fission to produce the nuclear chain reaction.
What element was used to make a atomic bomb?
either uranium or plutonium may be used in fission bombs, hydrogen and/or lithium may be used in fusion bombs.
How did the atomic bombs used on Japan get from America to Japan?
The atomic bombs were delivered by the USS Indianoppolis
What elements was used in the atomic 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.
What bombs did Germans use in the blitz?
They used nuclear and atomic bombs.
What was used before atomic bombs?
Conventional bombs - with chemical explosives.
What highly reactive mineral is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs?
No mineral. Two metals- uranium and plutonium- are used in atomic bombs.
Was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor the first time an atomic bomb was used?
No, at no time have the Japanese ever had atomic bombs!
What year was atomic bombs used?
1945
