Nuclear Bombs

Nuclear bombs harness the energy released during nuclear fission, a process where heavy atomic nuclei, like uranium or plutonium, split into smaller parts, releasing a vast amount of energy. This occurs when a neutron collides with a nucleus, causing a chain reaction. The energy released produces an explosive force many times stronger than conventional explosives. In essence, nuclear bombs convert a tiny amount of mass into a massive explosion, resulting in devastating effects on the surrounding area. Their destructive power has far-reaching implications for warfare and global security.
