What is the different between a nuclear bomb and an atom bomb?

Nuclear bombs before the 60s were referred to as atom bombs, because the term Nuclear hadn't been discover yet. Nuclear bombs today, are generally Hydrogen bombs, or fusion bombs. They are significantly more powerful, able to places about the size of Rhode Island. Atom bombs,which were mostly uranium and plutonium, lack the destructive power of Nuclear or Fusion bombs.

Height of what?the devicethe detonationthe top of initial fireballthe top of the mushroom cloudall of the aboveAlso which bomb/shot?


How strong are nuclear bombs today?

Modern nuclear bombs can be extremely powerful, with yields ranging from tens to hundreds of kilotons to several megatons. The most powerful nuclear bomb ever detonated was the Soviet Union's "Tsar Bomba" in 1961, which had a yield of around 50 megatons. Today's nuclear bombs are more compact and efficient than older designs, making them potentially even more devastating.


How does atomic energy effect lives today?

Atomic energy plays a significant role in providing electricity for homes and businesses, contributing to economic development and growth. However, concerns about safety, nuclear proliferation, and long-term waste disposal persist. The impact of atomic energy on lives today depends on how it is managed and regulated in each country.


Which countries have neutron bombs?

It is widely believed that the United States, Russia, China, and possibly a few other countries have developed neutron bombs. Neutron bombs are a type of thermonuclear weapon designed to release a large number of neutron particles while minimizing blast and heat effects.

What is the deffinion of ionic bonbs?

Iron bombs are used today to separate them from atomic/flame/and smart bombs. During WW1 & WW2 there was only a need to use the terms fire bombs or general purpose bombs (High Explosive). During the Korean War, we had to separate the atomic bomb from fire bombs and general purpose bombs. During the Vietnam War, the same separations had to be termed. By the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, SMART Weapons had to be added to the ATOMIC, FIRE, GENERAL PURPOSE bombs...so the accepted term for General Purpose (High Explosive) bombs came to be known as IRON BOMBS; aka Dumb Bombs.

Would an atomic explosion kill all the bugs in the world?

No. Two bombs were dropped on Japan to end world war 2 in the Pacific. Hundreds more bombs have been exploded in various tests and we still have bugs today. The bomb will kill all the bugs in the immediate and surrounding area though.

How strong are the nuclear bombs made today compared with the atomic bombs you dropped on japan?

In very round figures modern fusion bombs have yields in the range from 200 kilotons to 400 kilotons with a small number over 1 megaton. The two fission bombs dropped on Japan were 15 kilotons & 22 kilotons respectively.


Dalton's atomic theory is it still believed today?

of course Dalton's atomic theory is still believed today. but it has some defects, like his first postulate states that an atom is indivisible. but as you know its not correct. but the 4th and 5th postulate of his were exactly correct and are still the basis today. for a better answer please check on wikipedia.
