It depends on the sophistication of the rounds.
A plain cannon ball was typically made of only metal such as iron or steel or even stone. It causes damage due to the physical impact it imparts on the target. They were fired from cannons and were basically used to smash through everything.
Specialized rounds include grape shot, chain shot and fragmentation round. Grape shot is sort of a giant shot gun, send multiple smaller metal balls down range, very good against massed troops.
Chain shot was two balls connected with a chain. It was effective against ships, taking out sails, lines and spars.
A fragmentation round would explode either on impact or using a fuse. It contained a combustible material such as black powder.

Why does a cannon recoil when fired?
"For every action, there is an equal and oposite reaction." The cannonball is pushed out of the barrel at high speed. This pushes the cannon in the opposite direction. That is recoil. The heavier the cannonball, and the faster it is pushed, the more the cannon recoils.
