...half is it so for heat? a thermite produces temp of more than three thousand kelvin and about the half the temp of a nuke, is it's heat released the same? I need sources to accept case many told fools lyes. chemistry

You'll have to check me on this but thermite produces heat from the redox reaction between aluminum and iron oxide. And the heat produced is from that chemical reaction.A nuke is as the name implies a nuclear chain reaction. The temperature is in the range of the surface of the sun. The amount of energy produced per mass of the reactants and the rate at which it is released is not even comparible to thermite.
