is the breakpoint there on Iron?

 

wait doesn't this also mean very low energy for Hydrogen fusion?

 

well comparitively low, to uranium and such

 

I finks so. Less energy to split hydrogen up should equal less to fuse them. And teh heavier elements does need higher pressures and temperatures to be produced...

then why hydrogen bombs not uranium? I'm sure I heard that Hydrogen bombs were more powerful

 

I think it may be because there is a bigger energy difference between hydrogen and helium than uranium and whatever it splits into...

    maybe but apparently when you make a hydrogen bomb (or any fusion bomb) you first have to make a fission bomb as a 'detonator', so maybe that has something to do with it

    or maybe being able to get more Hydrogen into a bomb than uranium
