Question

Does Thermonuclear bombs are more devastating than atomic bombs

Answer 1

Thermonuclear bombs can be more devastating than the atomic bombs.

Thermonuclear bombs are also called hydrogen bombs. They have enormous explosive power that is created when an uncontrolled, self-sustaining chain reaction takes place. Under extremely high temperatures the isotopes of hydrogen combine to form helium. This process is called nuclear fusion. They are more dangerous than atomic bombs.

The process of nuclear fission is involved in atomic bomb. In this reaction the atomic nucleus splits into fragments and emits hundred to several hundred million volts of energy which is expelled explosively.
