Nuclear Bombs - ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW !

Image
Nuclear bombs are weapons of mass destruction. They harness the forces that hold the nucleus of an atom together by using the energy released when the particles of the nucleus (neutrons and protons) are either split or merged. Types of Nuclear Energy Nuclear Fusion -   Two smaller atoms are brought together, usually hydrogen or hydrogen isotopes (deuterium, tritium), to form a larger one (helium isotopes); this is how the sun produces energy. Nuclear Fission -   T he nucleus of an atom is split into two smaller fragments by a neutron. This method usually involves isotopes of uranium (uranium-235, uranium-233) or plutonium (plutonium-239). The Atomic Bomb Nuclear fission produces the atomic bomb, a weapon of mass destruction that uses power released by the splitting of atomic nuclei. When a single free neutron strikes the nucleus of an atom of radioactive material like uranium or plutonium, it knocks two or three more neutrons free. Energy is released when those neutrons split off fr

  Elon Musk has secured a $ 46.5 billion funding commitment to acquire Twitter and plans to open a bid to buy its shares, a US regulatory filing said Thursday. Musk himself promised to provide $ 33.5 billion to fund this transaction. This includes $ 21 billion in equity and $ 12.5 billion in margin loans.
