The 'uranium bomb' is an A-bomb and is a first generation nuclear weapon. The hydrogen bomb or H-bomb is a 2nd generation nuclear weapon and generally many times more powerful. 'H-bomb' can also refer to 3rd generation nuclear weapons that have an additional mass off uranium to provide further fuel, triggered by the 2nd generation fusion reaction; these are the most powerful. But recent studies show that the H-Bomb has more mass, therefore more energy, and therefore has more energy. So the H-bomb is more powerful.
What else can I help you with?
Is a atom bomb more powerful than a h-bomb?
No the atom bomb is not more powerful then the H-bomb
What atom was split to make a bomb?
uranium
What is another fuel that is used in an atom bomb?
such heavy elements as plutonium or uranium.
Information on US explodes H-bomb?
The H-Bomb, or Hydrogen Bomb, has never been used in warfare- the bombs dropped on japan at the end of WW2 were ATOMIC bombs, which are not as destructive. The Hydrogen Bomb is very much more powerful than the atom bomb, and has only ever been exploded in tests. For full information, Google 'US Hydrogen Bomb' and see what comes up.
Is there any bomb powerful than hydrogen bomb?
A bigger hydrogen bomb. The staged Teller-Ulam design has no practical or theoretical yield limit.
What sort of explosives made an atom bomb?
Atom Bomb = Uranium H-Bomb = Hydrogen
What is the difference between a hydrogen bomb and an Uranium bomb and which one is more powerful?
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.
What elements are in atom bombs?
if the bomb is a fission bomb it will use uranium 235 for fuel. if the bomb is a thermonuclear bomb (fusion) it will use the element hydrogen and an isotope of hydrogen for fuel.
Is the atom bomb and the hydrogen bomb the same thing?
No. Atomic bombs use fission, hydrogen bombs use fusion (and are more powerful)
What fuel was used for the bomb in World War 2?
If you mean the atomic bomb, the atom. (Hence the name). The element was Uranium-235, a very difficult one to obtain, which led to the development of the Thermonuclear warhead, the most powerful weapon still today, made from the Hydrogen atom.
Is a atom bomb more powerful than a h-bomb?
No the atom bomb is not more powerful then the H-bomb
What wasthe name of the second atom bomb?
The two atom bombs were the plutonium bomb and the uranium bomb.
What is a uranium bomb?
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
Is the atom bomb a atom?
No, it is called an atom bomb because it derives its power from splitting uranium and/or plutonium atoms.
What atom was split to make a bomb?
uranium
Is the nuclear bomb more powerful than the hydrogen bomb?
Nuclear bomb can mean either fission or fusion bomb. Hydrogen bomb means fusion bomb. The fusion bomb can be built with any yield one wants, just by adding more stages with more fuel. The fission bomb has a theoretical maximum yield that cannot be exceeded.
Compare a hydrogen bomb and an atom bomb?
both r useless Sometimes "atom" bomb is also used to describe a hydrogen bomb. Strictly, historically speaking, the atom bomb works via the energy released when a heavy atom nucleus such as uranium is split (called nuclear fission). This is also the energy source for nuclear power stations. A hydrogen bomb works via the energy released on fusing (called nuclear fusion) two light atoms (such as hydrogen) together - the huge pressure needed is derived from an atom bomb. This situation arises because the atoms towards in the middle of the periodic table are more stable, than those nearer the ends. A lot of electricity is derived nowadays from nuclear fission (nuclear power stations) but no significant power has yet been derived from nuclear fusion, though a lot of work is being done on it.
