Atoms!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Atoms are basically matter which makes up everyday objects. A desk, the air, even we are made up of atoms but the atoms are so small we cant see them. An atoms nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons and there is one neutron for every proton. There isnt always a proton for each neutron  so the the atam becomes either more positive or negetive. There are also electrons that cant get in the nucleus because the protons and neutrons wont let them in. But the electrons stay outside the nucleus running around. Electrons can also be traded or kidnapped.

An atom bomb works by causing a nuclear chain reaction which releases a huge amount of energy. An atom bomb is millions or billions of times more powerful than TNT. The first atomic explosion was on 16 July 1945 at the Alamogordo Test Range in New Mexico.

On August 6, 1945, less than a month after its first testing, an atomic bomb named Little Boy was dropped on Hiroshima,Japan. "Little Boy" killed as many as 100,000 people that day.

 After Hiroshima  a second bomb called Fat Man was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan three days later on August 9th it killed about 40,000 more people. Because of the atom bomb Japan surrendered to the U.S. on August 14th. Those were the only times since that any nuclear weapons had been used in a conflict between nations.
