Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The explosion of a nuclear bomb is caused by a chain reaction, where the fission of one atom produces neutrons that go on to cause the fission of more atoms, releasing a large amount of energy. Moderation, photon absorption, beta decay, and alpha decay are not responsible for the explosion of a nuclear bomb.
