Atomic bombs

Atomic bombs are powerful weapons that release energy through nuclear reactions, specifically nuclear fission. In fission, the nucleus of an element like uranium or plutonium splits into smaller parts when hit by a neutron, releasing a massive amount of energy, heat, and radiation. This process causes a highly explosive blast, intense heat, and destructive shockwaves. Atomic bombs are capable of causing widespread devastation and have been used in warfare, most notably during World War II. Their destructive power stems from the chain reaction of nuclear fission, making them one of the most potent and dangerous weapons ever developed.
