Wasn’t the H-bomb (fusion) supposed to be way more powerful and unpredictable than the A-bomb (fission)? Kinda confused here and I’m certainly mixing bombs with energy production. But if you could give me the essential I’d appreciate it. Thank you.
In: Chemistry
Here is the difference between the two:
Fission rips an atom apart.
Fusion smushes them together.
Fission creates radiation.
Fusion does not.
Obviously, this version is super simplified.
