Question
Hydrogen bomb is based on:

Answer

  1. Nuclear fusion
Explanation:
Hydrogen bomb is based on nuclear fusion. A large amount of nuclear energy is released by fusion of two light elements (elements with low atomic numbers).
In a hydrogen bomb, two isotopes of hydrogen, deuterium(1 proton, 1 neutron) and tritium(1 proton, 2 neutron) are fused to form a nucleus of helium and a neutron.
This fusion releases 17.6 MeV of energy. Also, there is no limit on the amount of the fusion that can occur.
