Uranium is extracted from mines and processed by chemical engineering techniques.
Uranium-235 and plutonium-239 were the two radioactive elements chosen for the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Unearthed uranium is not highly reactive to an atomic bomb blast on its own. However, if the uranium was refined and processed into a nuclear weapon, it could undergo fission reactions in response to a nuclear blast, contributing to the explosive power of the 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.
the atomic mass number for uranium is 92
Either highly enriched uranium-235 or reactor produced plutonium.
It was both: an atomic bomb using uranium as its fuel.
atomic
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
Hiroshima bomb: uranium Nagasaki bomb: plutonium

Uranium and plutonium
Uranium-235 was used in the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

Uranium &Plutonium
The uranium used in the Hiroshima atomic bomb came from the Oak Ridge facility in Tennessee, where it was enriched as part of the Manhattan Project. The uranium used was the isotope uranium-235, which was extracted and purified from natural uranium ore.
The element first used for fission in an atomic bomb is uranium.
they used uranium and plutonium.
