How do you define atomic bomb?

I guess Doomsday device is as good a word as any.

Good definition made by u on atomic bomb....should use before 2012..to make rehearsal ..in every country how cruel it impact...leave japan from it...They experienced of it in 2nd world war....

Hi meeneixz! Your definition is a great one. I will define atomic bomb as a strong weapon that is capable of causing huge damage to lives and properties. But the internet defined it as "An explosive device in which a large amount of energy is released through the nuclear fission of uranium or plutonium" It also defined atomic bomb as "Weapon of mass destruction whose explosive power derives from nuclear reaction". Thanks and have yourself a wonderful season.

Hi though this is not the scientific defination of atom bomb, whay you say is correct, this will end up everything on this globe, but we cant help anyway Thanks for this post, cheers Prof
