What 2 radioactive elements were chosen for the atomic bomb?
Uranium-235 and plutonium-239 were the two radioactive elements chosen for the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
How many kilograms of Uranium-238 did the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki each contain?
None. The first atomic bomb was made with enriched uranium. Note: There is a "slight technicality" with this one. Here's the deal. Any time that a small quantity (or a slightly larger quantity) of uranium is found, either in nature or in the physics lab, there will be a tiny bit of plutonium in the sample. Only the tiniest bit, but it will be there. Uranium's isotopes are all unstable, and they will decay by spontaneous fission or alpha emission. Within that decay environment, a few atoms of uranium are transformed into atoms of plutonium. As stated, it's a "technicality" as such, but it's a fact.
Which type of fissionable material is used in an atomic bomb?
Either highly enriched uranium-235 or reactor produced plutonium.
Does a hydrogen bomb contain uranium?
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.
Is plutonium as dense as the element uranium?
The density of uranium is 19,1 g/cm3. The density of plutonium is 19,816 g/cm3.
Which atomic bomb used uranium and which used plutonium?
Hiroshima bomb: uranium Nagasaki bomb: plutonium
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 goes in an atomic bomb?

What are some atomic bomb gases?
Uranium &Plutonium
What 2 radioactive elements were chosen for the atomic bomb?
Uranium-235 and plutonium-239 were the two radioactive elements chosen for the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
What was the element needed for the atomic bomb?
they used uranium and plutonium.
Can you put uranium and plutonium together in atom bomb?
Yes, especially in the past (plutonium pit)
What wasthe name of the second atom bomb?
The two atom bombs were the plutonium bomb and the uranium bomb.
What was distinct about the bomb on hiroshima?
The bomb in Hiroshima was plutonium and the Nagasaki was uranium.
What else other than uranium 239 is the atomic bomb made of?
Not uranium 239, but uranium 235 and plutonium 239.
