The difference between an nuclear bomb and a hydrogen bomb.
In: Engineering
I just so happen to be 5, and here’s how it’s been explained to me.
Iron is very stable. Anything that has less or more atoms than iron wants to become iron.
When these things change into iron, it causes an explosion.
Things that are smaller than iron that turn into iron make the biggest explosions. Things that are bigger than iron that turn into iron makes a smaller explosion.
Uranium is a very big thing that turns into iron. We call this explosion a “nuclear” explosion.
Hydrogen is the smallest thing that can turn into iron. And since this is the smallest thing that can turn into iron, it makes the biggest explosion. That’s why it’s called a Hydrogen Bomb.
