No.
In an atomic bomb, uranium or plutonium fission or implosive are needed to get the blast. The hydrogen bomb functions by the fusion, or joining together, of lighter elements into heavier elements.
The first plutonium bomb used in the war: Nagasaki (Japan), 9 august 1945 - the "Fat man".
Uranium &Plutonium
What size of Hydrogen Bomb? How many megatons? the biggest size of hydrogen bomb can done ...........
Minimum 6 kg (12 pounds) of plutonium 239.
A uranium bomb is an atomic bomb fueled by uranium-235A plutonium bomb is an atomic bomb fueled by plutonium-239A composite bomb is an atomic bomb fueled by both uranium-235 and plutonium-239A wet bomb is a hydrogen bomb fueled by liquefied deuterium/tritiumA dry bomb is a hydrogen bomb fueled by solid lithium deuteride
No, in terms of destruction the hydrogen bomb is the strongest, but if you mean killing the plutonium bomb is the one that does the most killing.
A hydrogen bomb was not dropped on Japan. It was dropped years later as a test and to determine how it acted in comparison to the plutonium and uranium bombs.
Yes, a hydrogen bomb uses a process called nuclear fusion that requires a small amount of plutonium to initiate. Plutonium is used in the primary stage of a hydrogen bomb to generate the high temperatures and pressures needed for fusion to occur.
Plutonium
plutonium + weapon
Yes, a bomb with plutonium.
A nuclear bomb is any bomb with any nuclear or atomic material inside it, while a plutonium bomb is a specific type of nuclear bomb. Plutonium could be the nuclear material inside the bomb, and if it is, it's a plutonium bomb.
Transmutation occurs when a fusion bomb (H-bomb) detonates: The Primary (A-bomb/fission) converts a heavy element like plutonium or uranium into lighter elements, such as strontium, etc... The Secondary (H-bomb/fusion part) converts a light element into heavier elements, like Hydrogen into Helium.
Hiroshima bomb: uranium Nagasaki bomb: plutonium
Hydrogen bomb gets some of its energy from fusion, uranium or plutonium bomb gets all of it from fission. Either can be more powerful, depending on the design. The most powerful bombs built have all been hydrogen bombs.
In general, a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb) is more powerful than a fission (atomic) bomb. Fusion bombs use an atomic bomb to begin the fusion reaction.
