What sort of explosives made an atom bomb?
Atom Bomb = Uranium H-Bomb = Hydrogen
What is the full form of Atom-bomb?
atomic bomb
Why is the hydrogen bomb the clean bomb?
A hydrogen bomb can be either clean, conventional, or salted depending on the material used for the fusion (secondary) stage tamper and how it interacts with the high energy fusion reaction neutrons.a clean hydrogen bomb uses a tamper material that does not capture or fission when hit by the high energy neutrons. Lead is one such material. Significant yield is sacrificed compared to a conventional hydrogen bomb.a conventional hydrogen bomb uses depleted or natural uranium as the tamper material, which fissions when hit by the high energy neutrons providing up to 90% of the bomb's yield and fallout.a salted hydrogen bomb uses materials in the tamper that readily capture neutrons and produce highly radioactive isotopes in the fallout.Note a very very clean hydrogen bomb has a tamper material so transparent to neutrons that almost all escape in a flash: this is sometimes called a neutron bomb!
What do you use to build an atomic bomb?
Materials NeededMaterials needed to make an atomic bomb are:fissionable material (Plutonium239 isotope)explosive to start the nuclear chain reaction (TNT, Gelignite or semtex)detonatorpusher (made from aluminium, beryllium)
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 radioactive material is used in the construction of the bomb?
their is no radioactive material in the construction of any bomb its just a bunch of atoms creating friction and being so excited that they explode in a devistating amount of force.
When was the bomb discovered?
First the radioactive material and split the atom. So it is not a discovery is was hard work.
What did the radioactive material used to fuel the atom bomb that fell on Hiroshima?
The bomb which was dropped over Hiroshima on August 6th 1945 was filled with Uranium-235.
How is the atom bomb constructed to ensure that it does not go off immediately?
The radioactive material in the bomb is kept apart and are less than the critical mass until they collide into each other. EGHS Ftl
How do you use radioactive material?
If you are a smart guy, you can make a nuclear bomb, or a nuclear reactor...
What is used to make a dirty bomb?
Pretty much any radioactive material can be used.
What effects have the atomic bomb had on the environment?
It released radioactive material which contaminated the area where the bombs landed for generations.
What resources were required after the hiroshima bomb?
Medical supplies, water, construction material and food.
What are some lasting effects from the atom bomb in hiroshima?
Because they way it works it they smash plutonium ( which is radioactive) to split an atom. This produces radiation which is harmful and can last a long time.
Will the atom bomb really cause radiation?
Absolutely, in a fission bomb the fission products are far more radioactive than the original Uranium and/or Plutonium was. Also in either fission or fusion bombs neutron activation converts stable isotopes to radioactive ones.
What nuclear material was the atom bomb made of?
Uranium 235, or plutonium, depending on weapon design
Is the inside of a baseball identical to the inside of an atom bomb?
The inside of an atom bomb is not the same as the inside of a baseball, but the fissile material (enriched uranium/plutonium) contained in an atom bomb could be about the same size as a baseball. The material is surrounded by shaped explosives, detonators, control circuits and a suitable casing. If a baseball was the same as an atomic bomb, nobody would play the game due to an unacceptable risk of vapourisation or radiation poisoning.
