which is more stronger...hydrogen bomb or nuclear bomb? and which one was dropped on hiroshima (japan)?

Answer 1

Hydrogen Bomb is way too powerful than what is commonly known as nuclear bomb (technically hydrogen bomb is also nuclear bomb only)

In Japan it was a nuclear bomb,.. infact this category of bombs that are produced now are way too powerful than the ones dropped in Japan

Answer 2

Hydrogen bomb is much more stronger than a nuclear bomb.A very large amount of heat is required for the occurance of a nuclear fusion in the hydrogen bomb. This large heat is obtained from the blasting of a nuclear bomb. In short, nuclear bomb is just a trigger for the hydrogen bomb.
Nuclear bomb was used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki by America. Hydrogen bomb is not used in any wars till now. But it was tested in the Sahara Desrert.

Answer 3

Hydrogen bomb is more powerful (100 times) than Atom Bomb.

Hiroshima met with Atom Bomb. If it is a hydrogen bomb of same size, Japan would have been wiped off from the map.

Answer 4

It was a nuclear bomb, uranium gun-type device in the case of Hiroshima dropped from the Enola Gay on the 6th of August 1945 and sarcastically named 'Little Boy' - it killed around 200,000 people in one go and 50-60 thousand more afterwards from wounds and raditiation poisioning. The bomb on Nagasaki was a plutonium implosion type. Both are commonly called hydrogen or nuclear bombs. There are differing types of nuclear bomb including fission and fusion, the latter being the more powerful.

Answer 5

Stonger is Hydrogen - why is this? It needs a nuclear reaction to create the extremely high temperature to initiate a fusion reaction, the same principle as to why the SUN burns. Hence the energy release is greater

Dropped on Japan -Nuclear. First bomb used uranium, the second plutonium

Answer 6

instead of this you should have asked what's the difference between an Atom bomb and Hydrogen bomb. it's the matter of fusion and fission .
on Hiroshima atoma bomb was dropped. At that time noone had any idea what nuclear bomb is(terms Nb Ab can be used interchangeably)

Answer 7

The reason why the atomic bombs were dropped is two fold. First was the publicized decree made by the Japanese Emperor (he once was a ruler, not a figurehead like he is today) that everyone fight the Americans - soldiers and civilians, men and women, young and old (even children). He wanted the entire nation fighting the Americans if it came to land invasion, which means our soldiers would have been fighting for every square foot of land on the Japanese mainland, and only taking it after it was soaked in the blood of Japan's military AND civilians. Projected casualties would have made the effect of both atomic bombs dropped look like mere skirmishes. We're talking millions of deaths total, American and Japanese. Second was the Battle of Okinawa. The American military noticed a disturbing trend. Not only where the civilians on the island fighting the Americans, forcing the Americans to kill them, but the soldiers were fighting to the last bullet and then charging with a bayonet, forcing the Americans to kill them. Okinawa had some of the highest causalities in the war against Japan, and was (on a small scale) a foreshadowing of what a land invasion against Japan would have been. Because it is history, we will never know what would have happened if we hadn't dropped the bombs. But what is historical fact is that the bombs brought the war to a far quicker halt, saved tens of thousands of American lives, and probably saved hundreds of thousands of Japanese lives.

Answer 8

1. Hydrogen
2. Hiroshima - Nuclear

Answer 9

a hydrogen bomb is a nuclear bomb since, by definition, a nuclear weapon is a weapon which derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions of either nuclear fission or the more powerful fusion.

the bomb dropped on hiroshima was a uranium device while the one dropped on nagasaki was a plutonium implosion device.
referred to as 'little boy' and 'fat man' respectively.

Answer 10

1. Hydrogen
2. Hiroshima - Nuclear
