- An atomic bomb is a nuclear weapon that explodes due to the extreme energy released by nuclear fission. A hydrogen bomb is a nuclear weapon that explodes from the intense energy released by nuclear fusion.
- Hydrogen bomb is more distructive.
An atomic bomb uses either uranium or plutonium and relies on fission, a nuclear reaction in which a nucleus or an atom breaks apart into two pieces. ...
The hydrogen bomb relies on fusion, the process of taking two separate atoms and putting them together to form a third atom
hydrogen bomb has the potential to be 1,000 times more powerful than an atomic bomb, according to several nuclear experts.
Hydrogen bombs cause a bigger explosion, which means the shock waves, blast, heat and radiation all have larger reach
