The atomic bomb is produced by the energy released during... A. nuclear fusion B. nuclear fission C. gamma decay D. electron emission I assumed it was A but I just need a second person to confirm this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope atomic bomb is produced by the energy released by nuclear fission

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then nuclear bombs are the ones that use fission as trigger mechanism and fusion to produce energy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B is correct because A need for very high temperature to occur

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how could it be fission?since the energy produced in sun is due to fusion.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how are atom bombs linked to the sun??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fusion is used in NUCLEAR bombs which use fission as trigger and are more deadly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both of them produces energy! well I got it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks guys. I appreciate the help. And thanks for explaining.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In the sun 2 H atom combine to form He but that does not occur in the bumb because there is no high temp as in the sun

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey sorry i mean hydrogen bombs instead of nuclear bombs as both are nuclear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohk.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :)

Summary Nuclear bombs may be 1.Atomic(fission only) 2. Hydrogen(fission as trigger and fusion for energy, and deadlier)
