How is antimatter related to atomic bomb of Hiroshima?

Answer 1

Anit-matter is related to the atomic bomb? How? The "atomic" bomb was a device that created a nuclear fission chain reaction. No anti-matter was used. The modern "nuclear" or "hydrogen" bombs are fusion devices (which create the energy needed for the fusion reaction by first detonating an atomic fission device), but still, no anti-matter involved.
Now, a positron (or the anti-electron) can come about under certain circumstances of a photon interacting with things such as carbon or fluorine and a couple others causing beta particle decay, but none of the right elements was used in any bomb.

Spock: fascinating i am getting a question on my screen from a 20Th century earthling. She seems to be asking how antimatter is related to an atomic explosion that happened during your world history called WWII.
She should know The reaction of 1 kg of antimatter with 1 kg of matter would produce 1.8×1017 J (180 petajoules) of energy (by the equation E=mc²). This is about 35 times as much energy as nuclear fusion of the same mass of hydrogen. This was not possible until late in the 22nd century. The question seems to have come up on this....Yahoo Answers, fascinating.
