Here is a YouTube video explaining the chemical reactions and what materials they use for atomic bombs, and it's very easy to understand.

What do atomatic bombs work by?

Atomic bombs work by initiating a chain reaction of nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. This energy is released in the form of heat, light, and shockwaves, causing widespread destruction and devastation.


Is a nuke the same as the atom bomb?

An atom bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that relies on nuclear fission, while "nuke" is a colloquial term used to refer to any type of nuclear weapon, including both fission and fusion bombs. So, all atom bombs are nukes, but not all nukes are atom bombs.


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.


Is it true or false atomic bombs work by atomic fisson?

yes, both true & false. They can work either by fission or some combination of fission & fusion. Most modern nuclear bombs use both fission & fusion to optimize for mission, size, weight, cost, etc. Total yield can vary from 100% fission to more than 95% fusion.


What is the different between atomic bomb and hydrogen bombs?

The main difference between atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs is the source of their energy. Atomic bombs rely on nuclear fission (splitting atoms), while hydrogen bombs use a two-stage process involving both fission and fusion (combining atoms). Hydrogen bombs are more powerful and destructive than atomic bombs.
