This question could be easily misconstrued. While atomic and nuclear explosion mean the same thing, and all atomic bombs are nuclear bombs, not all nuclear bombs are atomic bombs. The more powerful nuclear bombs are hydrogen bombs, and there is a very important fundamental difference between the two.
==============================================================
A bomb is fission - the splitting of an atom
H bomb is fusion - the joining together of atoms (and much more powerfull)

What happens when two bombs collide?
This question makes no sense as an atomic bomb is a nuclear bomb and vice versa. They are the same thing.
Why cant nuclear explosions be heard on earth?
Huh? They not only can be heard but they can be deafening. Using the same seismic equipment used to locate earthquakes, one can "hear" any nuclear explosion anywhere in the entire world, measure its yield, and confirm that it was definitely an explosion not an earthquake (the shockwave pattern is totally different).
Is an atom bomb the same as an atomic bomb?
Atomic bombs use nuclear fission to cause near perpetual chains of reactions. Nuclear warheads (Nukes) just sums up all the different types, including hydrogen bombs (which use nuclear fusion, a much more potent type of power) and atomic bombs. So yes, they are the same.
Why did the torii gate not fall in Nagasaki?
That is actually a torii at Nagasaki after an atomic bomb was dropped on the city on August 9, 1945. The same photograph is included on numerous historical websites discussing the bombing. The torii did withstand the nuclear attack.
Are the atomic bomb and depleted uranium the same weapon?
No, the atomic bomb and depleted uranium are not the same thing. Nuclear weapons are made with enriched uranium or with plutonium as the fissionable material. Depleted uranium is uranium that is "left over" after natural uranium is put through a process called enrichment to inprove the concentration of the isotope U-235 over that in natural uranium. The enriched uranium with its higher percentage of U-235 is fissionable, and it can be used in nuclear reactors and in nuclear weapons. Depleted uranium is used to make armor-piercing projectiles, and can be put through the neutron flux in an operating reactor to be transformed (transmuted) into plutonium.

What do two different neutral isotopes of the same element have in common nuclear number atomic mass nuclear mass atomic number?
The atomic number is the same for all isotopes.
In which year did the explosion at Chernobyl nuclear reactor occur?
1986, the same year as the Challenger Space Shuttle explosion.
Is the hiroshima bombing is a type of nuclear bombing?
Yes. Atomic and nuclear have the same meaning.
What is better nuclear or atomic energy?
Nuclear and atomic energy are terms that are often used interchangeably to refer to the same type of energy generated by splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission. Both terms are typically used to describe the same type of energy generation.
Is the atomic bomb the same thing as the nuclear missile?
No, they are not the same thing. An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that releases a large amount of energy through nuclear fission or fusion reactions. A nuclear missile, on the other hand, is a missile system that is capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to a target.
Was an atomic bomb the same as being in the nuclear age?
No, they are not the same. The atomic bomb was a specific weapon developed during World War II, while the nuclear age refers to the period starting from when nuclear technology and weapons became a significant part of global affairs, which continued past the use of the atomic bomb.
What is stronger a nuke or atom bomb?
A nuclear bomb and an atomic bomb are actually the same thing. Both terms refer to a type of explosive device that releases energy by nuclear reactions. The power of the explosion depends on the type of nuclear reactions involved and the amount of fissile material present in the bomb.
What is the difference between an atomic bomb and a nuclear weapon?
An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that releases energy through nuclear fission (splitting of atomic nuclei). Nuclear weapon is a broader term that encompasses atomic bombs, as well as hydrogen bombs which release energy through nuclear fusion (combining atomic nuclei).
Is hydrofluoric acid compatible with hydrochloric acid?
no it has the same explosion rate of quantumatics a nuclear bomb
Other than radiation is a nuclear explosion more destructive than a conventional explosion with the same yield and is the way the energy is being released portioned differently in a nuclear explosion?
Yes. an X kiloton of Nuclear bomb vs X kiloton of RDX/TNT. Nuclear Explosion is more destructive because apart from Shock wave and cloud of fire it will make the entire region Radio Active which will not only destroy the life and life forms currently present but will ruin that area for ages to come.
Which bomb is more dangerous a nuclear bomb or an atomic bomb?
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
