He didn't. However his declaration that "although there are large amounts of energy in the atom it will always remain impossible to release" prompted Leo Szilard to invent the process of the Neutron Chain Reaction in 1933 that makes the bomb (and reactors) possible and patent it in 1934.

How did ernest Rutherford make the nuclear bomb?

Ernest Rutherford did not make the nuclear bomb. He was a physicist who conducted pioneering work in the field of nuclear physics, particularly on the structure of the atom. The development of the nuclear bomb was primarily led by other scientists during the Manhattan Project in World War II.


Why did Rutherford invent nuclear bomb?

Well, the Americans needed a way to relinquish the Japanese and destroy their military campaign before they became too powerful and attacked America. To do this, an incredibly destructive and strong weapon was needed. The race for an atomic weapon was introduced into America, and the American Federal Government authorized the development of the atom bomb. The U.S. Government hired many employees during this development. The atom bomb was the impetus for the ever-growing nuclear war possibilty that, if occured, will render the human race extinct.


Which is more destructive a nuclear bomb or a hydrogen bomb?

A hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear bomb) is more destructive than a regular nuclear bomb (fission bomb). Hydrogen bombs release much larger amounts of energy and have the potential to create significantly more devastation and damage.


Can a nuclear reactor detonate the way a nuclear bomb can?

No, a nuclear reactor cannot detonate like a nuclear bomb. Nuclear reactors use controlled fission reactions to generate heat for electricity, while nuclear bombs use uncontrolled chain reactions to create an explosion. The design and purpose of a reactor prevent it from causing a nuclear explosion.


How much of an area can a nuclear explosion damage?

The area that a nuclear explosion can damage depends on the size of the bomb and the altitude at which it detonates. A large nuclear bomb detonated at ground level can create a blast radius of several miles, while detonating a smaller bomb at higher altitudes can generate an electromagnetic pulse that can affect a much larger area.

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.
