An atomic bomb is any bomb which obtains its destructive energy from the excess binding energy of atomic nuclei. The term is most commonly applied to bombs that release the excess binding energy of heavy atoms by fissioning them to form lighter atoms, but can equally correctly be applied to bombs that release the excess binding energy of light atoms by fusing them to form heavier atoms (however such bombs are most commonly called hydrogen bombs).
The fine details of this are somewhat blurred as most modern nuclear weapons use some combination of both fission and fusion, regardless of what they are called (e.g. dial-a-yield tritium gas fusion boosted atomic bombs, conventionally built hydrogen fusion bombs usually get more than 90% of their yield from fast fission of their depleted uranium tamper) to optimize their characteristics.

What is the circumference of an atomic's bomb explosion?
The circumference of an atomic bomb explosion can vary depending on the size and yield of the bomb. In general, the blast radius of a typical atomic bomb explosion can extend several miles from the epicenter.
Who discoverd the atomic bomb?
The atomic bomb was developed during World War II as part of the Manhattan Project. The project was spearheaded by the United States and led by scientists such as J. Robert Oppenheimer, who is often credited as the "father of the atomic bomb."
What is the difference between an atomic bomb and a nuclear weapon?
An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that releases energy through nuclear fission (splitting of atomic nuclei). Nuclear weapon is a broader term that encompasses atomic bombs, as well as hydrogen bombs which release energy through nuclear fusion (combining atomic nuclei).
Is an atomic bomb patent?
Yes, the atomic bomb was patented by the United States government. The patent for the atomic bomb is recorded under the title "Method of Producing Excess Nuclear Energy" and was granted to the U.S. government in 1952.
What was the name of atomic bomb test site?
The atomic bomb test site was named the Trinity Test Site. It was located in New Mexico, USA, and was where the first atomic bomb was successfully detonated on July 16, 1945.

How did atomic theory lead to the atomic bomb discovery?

On 1945 was the bomb dropped on hiroshima a atomic bomb or a uranium bomb?
It was both: an atomic bomb using uranium as its fuel.
What is stronger between the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb?
In general, a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb) is more powerful than a fission (atomic) bomb. Fusion bombs use an atomic bomb to begin the fusion reaction.
