Yes. Later, the Hydrogen Bomb used fission/fusion.
No, "atom bomb" and "atomic bomb" refer to the same type of explosive device that derives its destructive power from nuclear fission reactions. Both terms are used interchangeably to describe the same technology.
Yes, atom bomb and nuke are commonly used terms to refer to nuclear weapons that release destructive energy by splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission. In general, "nuke" is a more colloquial term while "atom bomb" is more formal.
One takes large atoms and breaks them into smaller atoms--called fission (a-bomb). The other takes really small atoms and fuses them together to make larger atoms--called fusion (h-bomb).
A atomic bomb is an example of fission, as it relies on the splitting (or fission) of heavy atomic nuclei to release a massive amount of energy. Fusion, on the other hand, involves the merging of lighter atomic nuclei, while annihilation is the complete conversion of matter into energy in particle-antiparticle collisions.
The atomic bomb gets its power from the process of nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom is split into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy. This energy is what causes the destructive force of an atomic bomb.
Fission and/or fusion.
Atomic fission and the chain reaction.

Yes, atom bomb and nuke are commonly used terms to refer to nuclear weapons that release destructive energy by splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission. In general, "nuke" is a more colloquial term while "atom bomb" is more formal.
No. Atomic bombs use fission, hydrogen bombs use fusion (and are more powerful)
Fission.
The element first used for fission in an atomic bomb is uranium.
An atomic bomb uses a nuclear fission reaction. This involves splitting the nucleus of a heavy atom, such as uranium or plutonium, into smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
Fission.
Atomic fission bomb.
A nuclear fission reaction occurs in an atomic bomb. This is when the nucleus of an atom is split into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
One takes large atoms and breaks them into smaller atoms--called fission (a-bomb). The other takes really small atoms and fuses them together to make larger atoms--called fusion (h-bomb).
