Difference between atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ 👉🏼 *What is the difference between a Atomic Bomb and a Hydrogen Bomb?* 🗣 An atomic bomb is about fission. You're breaking up very large atoms (Uranium or Plutonium) in a super-critical chain reaction. A hydrogen bomb, or a thermonuclear bomb, uses fusion in a chain reaction. The requirement to start a fusion reaction, however is that it requires enormous energy levels (heat) in order to trigger it. The only way to generate this energy is with, you guessed it, an atomic bomb. Therefore a hydrogen bomb includes an atomic bomb inside the core. The atomic bomb is the trigger and when it explodes, it sets off fusion reactions in the nearby deuterium/tritium. It is called a hydrogen bomb because deuterium & tritium are simply isotopes of hydrogen. With this staged design, it is possible to have a thermonuclear bomb which is far more powerful than an atomic bomb. In fact, the hydrogen (fusion piece) of this is thought to be completely scalable (the bo
