not likely
A nuclear bomb and an atomic bomb are virtually synonymous. The two terms are both used to refer to a nuclear weapon. Even Wikipedia agrees. The use of either term as a search argument redirects the answer to the article Nuclear Weapon. A link is provided. from benjaminmarkiewicz that dont make any sense a nuclear bombs blow travels 100s of miles and is more powerful cause its the newly invented bomb and the atomic bombs blow travel is under a nuclear bombs travel rate
A nuclear weapon specifically functions based off of different designs. Lets take the Hiroshima weapon for simplicity as this is the least complex design that is out there. The Hiroshima bomb called little boy is a simple gun type fission weapon. The weapon was designed using U-235. When the trigger on this weapon goes off, it sends a subcritical piece of Uranium down a cannon barrel to contact another piece of Uranium at the other end. The pieces meet at a certain speed causing a super critical state to be achieved. Once this occurs the nuclear chain occurs within the Uranium causing the massive release of energy that becomes the explosion. The actual function and numbers for the design of the weapon are classified; however, that is the simplified version of how the weapon detonates.
When its fusing system triggers it.
if by nuke you mean the weapon of destruction, yes, overtime it can.
To destroy the planet (as in blow it into pieces), no. But to destroy all live on the surface, yes.
No, a nuclear weapon needs a specific geometry to detonate, and it has to be held in this position by very high explosives to keep it in this shape. In a nuclear reactor, if the reactor core goes critical then the force of the expanding coolant will blow the reactor apart, preventing a nuclear blast.

Yes, the conventional explosives would trigger an explosion of the conventional explosives inside the nuclear bomb which would blow apart the nuclear components of the nuclear bomb, causing significant alpha emitter radiological contamination but no nuclear yield.

No. Define "blow up". Power plants have malfunctions that can kill people, unrelated to nuclear fuel. Nuclear elements can be arranged to blow up but you have to get everything exactly right. More danger exists from exposure to the fuel, if it has been activated.
