The term is nuclear fusion, where light elements (usually hydrogen) fuse to form heavier elements.

What is the Difference in radiation - atomic vs hydrogen bombs?

Atomic bombs use nuclear fission, where heavy atomic nuclei split into smaller ones releasing energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs use both nuclear fission and fusion, with fusion reactions involving the combining of light atomic nuclei to release even more energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs are typically more powerful and produce higher levels of radiation compared to atomic bombs.


Hydrogen bombs and stars both produce energy with nuclear?

fusion reactions, where lighter elements combine to release tremendous amounts of energy. In stars, the fusion of hydrogen into helium powers their luminosity and heat. Hydrogen bombs use isotopes of hydrogen to trigger a controlled fusion reaction, releasing a massive amount of explosive energy.


Is there nuclear energy in nuclear bombs?

Yes, there is nuclear energy in nuclear bombs. It is released in a few microseconds when they are detonated.


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.


What do hydrogen bombs give off?

Hydrogen bombs give off a tremendous amount of energy in the form of heat, light, and radiation when they detonate. This energy release is the result of the nuclear fusion process that occurs in the bomb's core.

Which is stronger Nuclear Bomb or Hydrogen Bomb?

Nuclear bombs is all types of bombs that use nuclear energy. It is not a type of bomb,just a category of bombs. hydrogen bomb is the strongest bomb ever, and its blast yield can go up to 100megatons of TNT.


Is an atom bomb the same as an atomic bomb?

Atomic bombs use nuclear fission to cause near perpetual chains of reactions. Nuclear warheads (Nukes) just sums up all the different types, including hydrogen bombs (which use nuclear fusion, a much more potent type of power) and atomic bombs. So yes, they are the same.


Is there nuclear energy in nuclear bombs?

Yes, there is nuclear energy in nuclear bombs. It is released in a few microseconds when they are detonated.


What type of nuclear energy do hydrogen bombs produce?

Fusion. However in standard fusion bombs about 90% of the yield comes from fission of Uranium-238 in the fusion tamper and radiation channel guide from fast 15MeV fusion neutrons.
