why are atomic, hydrogena and nuclear bombs different?

Question

a short and simple answer please!

Answer 1

atomic bombs and Hydrogen bombs are types of nuclear bombs. in plan atom bombs there is an outer layer of high explosives and an inner layer of unstable isotopes like plutonium or uranium. the unstable isotopes and and their atoms react in fission from the pressure caused by the explosives the atoms burst and particles from that collide and burst other atoms creating a chain reaction. the H bomb uses fusion reaction with Hydrogen were the atoms are fused together due to the reacting high explosives and often isotopes surrounding the hydrogen fusing them into helium and other atoms.

simply the atom bomb uses fission with isotopes
and the H bomb uses the fusion of hydrogen to increases the power

Answer 2

Atomic bombs work by splitting an atom. A hydrogen bomb works by fusing large atoms to make a hydrogen atom. The extra protons neutrons and electrons that are shed in the process give a much larger explosion than a atomic bomb. Nuclear is a term that covers all atomic and hydrogen bombs or weapons that use uranium or plutonium as the explosive or as a contaminate.

Answer 3

atomic bombs destroy everything while hydrogen bombs are supposed to only kill people but leave buildings intact

Answer 4

fission (destroying mass....in particular uranium/plutonium) and fusion (bringing mass together...in particular hydrogen) Both are using the practical application of e=mc2....
