Hydrogen Bomb vs Atomic Bomb
"The Difference between the Hydrogen Bomb and the Atomic Bomb"
The hydrogen bomb and the atomic bomb are both powerful weapons in the world, but their mechanism, efficiency, and structure are all different, and the differences are significant.
Atomic bomb makers rely on the ability of nuclear fission. Heavy atomic nuclei, such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239, are bombarded by neutrons, causing the nucleus to split into two or more light nuclei, and at the same time release a huge amount of energy. This fission process is like a chain reaction, one shot but not retractable, and an instant burst of amazing power. Its explosive power is often measured in the equivalent of thousands of tons of TNT, such as the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which are equivalent to only tens of thousands of tons of TNT, but they have destroyed cities and cities and destroyed lives.
The hydrogen bomb is different from this, and it is based on the principle of nuclear fusion. Using the isotopes deuterium and tritium of hydrogen as fuel, under extremely high temperature and high pressure, the two light nuclei fuse into a heavy nucleus, and the energy released in this process far exceeds that of nuclear fission. To initiate nuclear fusion, a very high starting temperature is required, often using the high temperature and high pressure generated by the explosion of an atomic bomb to achieve this condition. The power of a hydrogen bomb is far superior to that of an atomic bomb, often in terms of millions or even tens of millions of tons of TNT equivalent.
In terms of structure, the structure of an atomic bomb is relatively simple, and the core is fission material and a detonation device. The structure of a hydrogen bomb is complex. In addition to nuclear fusion fuel, an atomic bomb is required as a "trigger" to provide the high temperature and high pressure required to start nuclear fusion.
Furthermore, the radiation effects of the two are also different. The atomic bomb explodes, the immediate radiation is strong, and the radioactive contamination of fission products is long-lasting. The hydrogen bomb nuclear fusion reaction itself has little radioactive residue, but due to the detonation of the atomic bomb, there is still some radioactive contamination, and the electromagnetic pulse effect generated by the explosion has a wide range of effects, which is very destructive to electronic equipment.
To sum up, although the hydrogen bomb and the atomic bomb are both powerful weapons for destroying the world, their principles, power, structure and radiation are different. They are actually double-edged swords of human technology, and they should be used with caution.
