Yes, a Thermonuclear Weapon (or Hydrogen Bomb) contains a core of Plutonium-239 and Uranium-235.
A hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear fusion device) is triggered by a conventional thermonuclear fission bomb, and therefore has a core of fissionable materials such as U-235 and Pu-239.
The fission device acting as a trigger is in turn triggered by conventional chemical explosives.
What else can I help you with?
What sort of explosives made an atom bomb?
Atom Bomb = Uranium H-Bomb = Hydrogen
What size of nuclear bomb made with one ton of uranium?
Its really hard to say, the only nuclear bomb that might contain that much uranium (probably as depleted uranium) would be a hydrogen fusion bomb with a uranium tamper.Depending on many design features, it would probably weigh a bit under 2 tons and have a yield somewhere between 2 megatons and 20 megatons, most of that produced by fission of the uranium tamper.NO nuclear bomb could ever contain that much weapons grade uranium, as it would be so far beyond critical that it would simply melt in the factory as it was being assembled and kill anyone nearby with neutron and gamma radiation.
What is stronger between the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb?
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.
Does transmutation help in making a hydrogen 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.
Did hydrogen bombs get dropped on Hiroshima?
No, hydrogen bombs were not dropped on Hiroshima. The atomic bomb "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima by the United States on August 6, 1945, during World War II. Hydrogen bombs are a more powerful type of nuclear weapon that was developed later.
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
What sort of explosives made an atom bomb?
Atom Bomb = Uranium H-Bomb = Hydrogen
Does nuclear warheads contain tungsten?
some might. for example the tamper of a "clean" hydrogen bomb might be tungsten instead of uranium to reduce fallout.
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.
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.
How many different Uranium parts were used in the Little Boy and Fatman bombs in 1945 and in the secondary of the first hydrogen bomb Ivy Mike in 1952?
Little Boy had highly enriched uranium in the bomb (explosion by nuclear fission).Fat Man and Ivy Mike contain only depleted uranium as tamper.
When was the hydrogen bomb dropped?
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.
What size of nuclear bomb made with one ton of uranium?

Did anyone suffered when they dropped the hydrogen bomb?
Of course not, it was just for fun (by the way the bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki were uranium bombs and not hydrogen)
Which one doesn't belong uranium salt boron or hydrogen?
- Uranium, boron and hydrogen are chemical elements. - A salt is a chemical compound (contain two or more elements).
What is stronger between the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb?
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.
What radioactive isotope did the first atomic bomb contain?
The first atomic bomb, "Little Boy," contained uranium-235 as its radioactive isotope.
