Consider the following statements regarding Hydrogen and Atom Bombs:  The energy released in a Hydrogen bomb is several magnitudes higher than an Atom bomb. A Hydrogen bomb derives its energy through the fission of atoms while an atom bomb derives its energy from fusion. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Consider the following statements regarding Hydrogen and Atom Bombs:  The energy released in a Hydrogen bomb is several magnitudes higher than an Atom bomb. A Hydrogen bomb derives its energy through the fission of atoms while an atom bomb derives its energy from fusion. Which of the statements given above is/are correct? Correct Answer 1 only

The correct answer is 1 only.

Key Points

  • A Hydrogen bomb is a highly powerful atomic weapon.
    • The energy released in a Hydrogen bomb is several magnitudes higher than an Atom bomb.
    • Hence statement 1 is correct.
  • A Hydrogen bomb derives its energy through the fusion of atoms.
    • An Atom bomb derives its energy from fission.
    • Hence statement 2 is incorrect.

Additional Information

  • Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are different types of reactions that release energy.
    • In fission, an atom is split into two or smaller, lighter atoms.
    • Fusion, in contrast, occurs when two or more atoms fuse, creating a larger, heavier atom.
    • Hydrogen bombs use the fusion of hydrogen atoms, hence its name.
  • It is easier to make Hydrogen bombs in small size, so it is easier to place them in missiles.
