No.
The bomb was so named because the design of the bomb was based on two semi-spherical hemispheres colliding together on impact. The bomb required a longer design to accomplish this task.
Fat man, on the other hand involved an implosion detonation device, which resulted in a lager bomb. (In Girth)
Interestingly both bombs were a 20 KT yield.
I have know clue.

Little Boy.
The atoms splitting is what causes the explosion, without the technology to cause atoms to split the bomb was just another pile of junk.
The first nuclear weapon was constructed by the US in the first half of 1945. This weapon, which was set atop a tower (static test) and code-name Trinity, was detonated on July 16, 1945. The second and third weapons were built later in the year, and these were the pair that was dropped on Japan.
Splitting of atom
yep
No, splitting wood does not involve splitting atoms. Splitting wood refers to the process of using a tool, such as an axe or a log splitter, to separate a piece of wood into smaller pieces that are more manageable for fuel or woodworking purposes. Splitting atoms, on the other hand, refers to the process of breaking apart the nucleus of an atom, often done in nuclear reactions for energy production or scientific research.
In general, nuclear fission is the splitting of a single atomic nucleus. One atom with an unstable nucleus splits, either spontantously or perhaps because it has absorbed a neutron. Fission is a physics term applied to the action of the splitting of an atom, not the splitting or "separating" of two atoms.
Atom.
No. That's a description of the process of nuclear " fusion ".Nuclear " fission " is the splitting of one single atomic nucleus into two or more nuclei.
Yes
Nuclear fission
No, it is called an atom bomb because it derives its power from splitting uranium and/or plutonium atoms.
When you split an atom, you create a nuclear fission. The energy from splitting that atom is converted to electricity. To split an atom means to literally "break it in half." An atom has a nucleus with negatively charged electrons around it. The reaction of the atom splitting is so large that a small amount can convert into numerous amounts of energy.
yes, have you ever seen an Atomic Bomb blast! Well that is the splitting od atoms.
Fission and fusion are both nuclear reactions that release energy by altering the nucleus of an atom. Both processes involve the splitting or combining of atomic nuclei to release energy.
