Is an atom bomb the same as an atomic bomb?

Atomic bombs use nuclear fission to cause near perpetual chains of reactions. Nuclear warheads (Nukes) just sums up all the different types, including hydrogen bombs (which use nuclear fusion, a much more potent type of power) and atomic bombs. So yes, they are the same.


One or more of large merchant vessel ships?

Carriers, battleships, and heavy cruisers. Heavy cruisers had 8" guns, light cruisers had 6" guns.


Was there more male or female slaves and why?

Probably male, because they could do more hard labor. They could lift heavy weights and pull heavy loads.


Does atomic explosion and nuclear explosion mean the same?

This question could be easily misconstrued. While atomic and nuclear explosion mean the same thing, and all atomic bombs are nuclear bombs, not all nuclear bombs are atomic bombs. The more powerful nuclear bombs are hydrogen bombs, and there is a very important fundamental difference between the two. ============================================================== A bomb is fission - the splitting of an atom H bomb is fusion - the joining together of atoms (and much more powerfull)


Which is most powerful a nuke an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb?

An H-Bomb is 1000 times stronger than an atomic bomb. Atomic explosions are based on splitting atoms and is a fission explosion or fission bomb. The Hydrogen bomb (also called H-Bomb) is a Fusion reaction where atoms are forced together. Atomic bombs were used in World War II, Hydrogen bombs have been tested, but not used in war.

Whats the process of splitting the atom called?

The process of splitting the atom is called nuclear fission. In nuclear fission, a heavy atomic nucleus is split into two or more lighter nuclei along with the release of a large amount of energy.


How is the splitting pattern in carbon NMR affected by the presence of neighboring atoms?

The splitting pattern in carbon NMR is affected by the number of neighboring atoms that are directly bonded to the carbon atom being analyzed. The more neighboring atoms there are, the more complex the splitting pattern will be. This is because the neighboring atoms can influence the magnetic environment around the carbon atom, leading to different splitting patterns in the NMR spectrum.


What do you call energy made from split atoms?

Nuclear fission, made from the splitting of U-238 atoms mixed with a small ratio of U-235 atoms. For more information, visit the Nuclear Energy Institute's websithe @ nei.org


What can come from splitting the nuclei of atoms?

More nuclei of more atoms than you started out with, less mass than you started with, and some energy.


What does the nuclei of heavy atoms have that light atoms do not have?

Heavy atoms have more protons and neutrons in their nuclei compared to light atoms. This increases the nuclear charge and mass of heavy atoms, making them less stable and more prone to undergo radioactive decay.


The process by which describe the splitting of a large unstable atom into two intermediate size atoms and extra neutrons is called?

Fission to be more specific its nuclear fission...


Does splitting wood involve splitting atoms?

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.


Is nuclear fission splitting two atoms apart?

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.


Is atoms splitting a form of nuclear energy?

Yes, atoms splitting is a form of nuclear energy known as nuclear fission. In this process, the nucleus of an atom is split into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.


What is a molecule of two or more atoms called?

Two or more different atoms bonded together is called a compound.


What are atoms that are made of more than 1 called?

Multiple atoms bonded together are called molecules.


What is the difference between fission rector and fusion rector?

A fission reactor generates energy by splitting heavy atomic nuclei like uranium or plutonium, releasing a large amount of heat. In contrast, a fusion reactor generates energy by fusing light atomic nuclei, such as hydrogen isotopes, releasing even more energy per reaction but is more challenging to control due to the extreme conditions required for fusion to occur.
