How a nuclear bomb works?
Well, the technical explanation is very complicated, so I will make it more simple: there are the fission bomb, and the thermonuclear bomb. The fission bomb makes an explosion through the splitting of atom. Atom is the smallest measurement. There are neutrons and photons in a atom. But when you split the atom to make a big explosion, you do not use any atom. We usually use an atom of uranium-235. When the uranium atom is split, the normal amount of neutrons or photons does not come out. Then the neutrons release lots of energy! (Very simple explanation: A fission bomb is a bomb that uses energy from splitting uncontrolled atoms. And a thermonuclear bomb is just opposite to fission bomb, it gets energy from fusion of atoms to make a heavier one.
Did Einstein split the atom at Princton University?
No, all he did was write to the president (FDR) that the atom bomb should be developed because there was concern that Germany may do it first.April 1932 John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton (in the UK) split the atom for the first time.
Alfred Nobel invented what?
he invented the dynamite or the atom bomb
Is it possible to split an atom?
Yes, it is possible to split an atom through a process called nuclear fission.
When did Albert Einstein split an atom?
He didn't He came up with a formula which decribed the relationship between mass and energy (e=mc2). This showed how much energy would be released when mass disappeared, which is what happens when the bomb explodes, but he didn't actually do it.
What atom was split to make a bomb?
uranium
Does an atomic bomb split an atom?
no it doesnt
Are atoms too small to split into pieces?
you can split atoms that's how they created the atom bomb
Can atoms break into pieces?
Yes, an atom can break or split. This is the concept behind the atom bomb.
Is splitting an atom safe?
NO! They only split one atom in an Atomic Bomb. think of what would happen if you did it at home!
If atom are the finest particle than why atom bomb are getting blast?
They split the atoms which causes a great release of energy.
What is the name of a German chemist and Physicist who split the Uranium Atom in 1938 and also considered as the father of atom bomb?
Robert Julius Oppenheimer is credited with being the Father of the Atom bomb, but he was American.
When was the bomb discovered?
First the radioactive material and split the atom. So it is not a discovery is was hard work.
What two isotopes cause the nucleus to split an atom bomb?
The isotopes are uranium-235 or plutonium-239.
What type of explosive device is made from splitting the atom?
The name for an explosive device caused by the split of an atom is an atom, or atomic bomb. It was used on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in WWII to end the war.
The name of a German chemist and physicist who split the uranium atom in 1939 and also considered as the father of atom bomb?
Otto Hahn, Fritz Strassmann and Lise Meitner in 1939; I consider that the expression father of the atomic bomb is not adequate.
What nicknames does Atom Bomb go by?
Atom Bomb goes by Adam Bomb.
