The binding energies within atoms are many magnitudes of order greater than the binding energies of molecules. The amount of energy available within an atom is given by Einstein’s famous formula E=MC2, where E = energy, M = the mass and C = the speed of light. Thus the energy available equals the mass multiplied by 9,000,000,000,000,000,000. As a result, a nuclear bomb using a kilogram of plutonium could have the same explosive force of approximately 15 million kilograms of TNT.
