Atom bomb. Get it? Atom :D
Yes, atom bomb and nuke are commonly used terms to refer to nuclear weapons that release destructive energy by splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission. In general, "nuke" is a more colloquial term while "atom bomb" is more formal.
Nuclear. At the time it was called an atom bomb.

The term atom bomb (or atomic bomb) usually refers to a bomb that obtains its energy solely through the process of nuclear fission.However technically the term is considered interchangeable with nuclear bomb, and can refer to any bomb obtaining its energy through either nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, or any combination of the two processes.
The atom bomb is a type of nuclear weapon. Nuclear weapons can kill entire cities, make air quality unsafe, and kill plants and animals.
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.
The atom bomb
It was a atom bomb. The uranium one and it was called the "little boy".
An atomic bomb is a nuclear weapon. A nuclear fusion bomb, (hydrogen, is usually much stronger than a nuclear fission bomb (uranium or plutonium). The weapons detonated in Japan during WWII measured about 15 kilotons equivalent of TNT. Today, most nuclear weapons are measured by megaton (1000X kiloton) equivalents up to a bomb built by the Russians with a possible yield of 100 megatons.
It gets its energy from the atomic nucleus.
