Basically, a chemical booster rocket propels it into space, once in space the warhead bus separates from the booster rocket, the booster rocket fall toward earth and burns up, the warhead bus maneuvers to aim the warhead(s) at the target(s) and releases the warhead(s). When a warhead arrives at its target at the preset burst height/depth it detonates.
There are many other detail steps I have skipped over to keep it simple.

How are nuclear weapons destroyed?
The only way that how are nuclear weapons are destroyed that these anti-nuclear working group stay together and work together to get these powerful nuclear weapons destroyed. It's possible to destroy nuclear weapons but it is a very hard and dangerous job. Want to know how nuclear weapons are destroyed? These people work as a team by staying together, they also disable nuclear missile launching systems to prevent the nuclear weapons from being launched. They work very carefully to make sure that the nuclear weapon cannot make wide explosions. They destroy the missile very carefully so that the missile cannot make very huge nuke explosion. They also stop nuclear bombs from being dropped by making sure that the bomb is destroyed but they have to place something to destroy the nuclear bomb and they must be very careful because nuclear missiles and nuclear bombs are very powerful. There should be a time bomb to destroy these weapons and don't let these weapons create big explosions. If there is then they place the time bomb on nuclear weapon, they also have to move very far away from the weapon to make sure that they are safe and can't get killed. To destroy nuclear weapons, these nukes have to be sent very far away from the city or from the town so people can't get killed by the nukes.
What does a nuke look like?
Well, there are two types of Nuke, A bomb and a missile or commonly referred to as 'Nuclear Bomb' and 'Nuclear Warhead (or missile)'. It looks like a standard bomb in shape but not size. But there are two versions of Nuclear bomb, Fission and Fusion. The Fission one is more like a standard bomb but larger and the Fusion one looks like a Mini-Missile but is still dropped like a bomb. The Nuclear Warhead (or missile) looks like a missile obviously. The easiest way to answer this question is to look on Google Images and next time you wonder something like this, Please, Don't waste the good people's time to answer your stupidity and minor amount of common sense.
Can nuclear weapon explode if nuclear tipped missile is intercepted in air by the anti ballistic missile?
Maybe. If ABM was nuclear itself, it will probably cause fratricide in the warhead causing it to dud. If ABM is conventional it might detonate conventional explosives in warhead. Whether this produces yield or not depends on how safe the warhead was designed against one point detonation nuclear yield.
Is the atomic bomb the same thing as the nuclear missile?
No. A nuclear missile is a rocket of some kind with an atomic/nuclear bomb as its warhead.
How do build a nuclear missile?
