Is implosion possible and what are the examples of it?

Yes,. One well known example is the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. The explosives in the bomb were placed around the plutonium then exploded to compress the plutonium to the point where nuclear fission started.


What does an atomic bomb use for its explosive power?

An atomic bomb is made up from the inside out by: a plutonium pit(ball) about the sized as a honeydew melon. surrounded by about 2 inches of high explosive on all sides. This is triggered in a USA bomb by an intricate series of safety triggers that prevent accidental explosion by altitude triggers, timers, and arming triggers. Excess nuclear binding energy supplied by the strong nuclear force.


What is a nuclear weapon in wich enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?

This nuclear weapon is called an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb


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.


The ingredients of the atomic bomb?

In general terms, enough U235 or Pu239 to form a critical assembly, but in separate small pieces. Also a high explosive charge of the required shape. When required to fire, the HE charge drives the pieces of U235 or Pu239 together with great force, causing a nuclear explosion. The precise details are secret, and best if they stay that way.

What is the difference between nuclear bomb and plutonium bomb?

A nuclear bomb is any bomb with any nuclear or atomic material inside it, while a plutonium bomb is a specific type of nuclear bomb. Plutonium could be the nuclear material inside the bomb, and if it is, it's a plutonium bomb.

Elements in atomic bomb?

The primary elements used in the atomic bomb are uranium or plutonium. These elements undergo a process called nuclear fission, where their atoms split apart, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat, light, and radiation. This energy is harnessed to create the explosive power of an atomic bomb.


How much did the plutonium device cost for the nuclear bomb?

The cost of the plutonium used in a nuclear bomb can vary greatly, depending on factors such as purity, quantity, and production method. However, estimates suggest that the plutonium used in a typical nuclear bomb could cost millions of dollars.

What is the use of plutonium in a nuclear bomb?

Plutonium is used as the fissile material in the core of a nuclear bomb. When a critical mass of plutonium is rapidly brought together, a chain reaction occurs, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of a nuclear explosion.
