Uranium and Plutonium
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.
The mathematical formula for the energy produced by an atomic bomb is E=mc^2, where E is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light. This formula, derived by Albert Einstein, explains the conversion of mass into energy in nuclear reactions, such as those that occur in atomic bombs.
I suggest Richard Rhodes book The Making of the Atomic Bomb.
atomic bomb
The artificial element with atomic number 99 found in the debris of the hydrogen bomb in 1953 is einsteinium (Es). It is a radioactive synthetic element that is created in nuclear reactors and has no known natural occurrence on Earth. Einsteinium was named after Albert Einstein.
The first atomic bomb, "Little Boy," contained uranium-235 as its radioactive isotope.
Simply to put it Yes. Atomic Bombs is a form as Nuclear bomb and Nuclear products/elements such as Uranium 235 (a material used in a atomic bomb) emits radioactive particles. Radioactivity Particles = radioactivity.
Of the two dropped on Japan, one was a Uranium bomb and the other a Plutonium bomb. Both Uranium and Plutonium are elements, and are radioactive. The radioactivity makes these elements suitable as sources of energy, for power generation or explosions.
There are many different elements involved in the construction of an atomic bomb, but the elements that actually cause an atomic explosion are either uranium (specifically the U235 isotope) or plutonium.
No, they are slightly radioactive but touching one will not hurt you.
Yes, an atomic bomb releases a large amount of nuclear radiation in the form of gamma rays, neutrons, and radioactive fallout. This radiation can cause severe health effects in humans and the environment.
Radiation and atomic fallout (radioactive dust/debris forming a cloud).
It was the site chosen to test the first atomic bomb.
Plutonium 239
It kills all life, destroys property, and makes the area of the explosion radioactive.
It released radioactive material which contaminated the area where the bombs landed for generations.
It had some ammunition factories and an army base.
