well...let's just say you woldn't know the word bomb or nuclear without the science behind them. like many other things a nuclear bomb is a product of science. To be brief: 1. the nuclear part: there are to tipes of reaction fission and fusion

Nuclear fission - You can split the nucleus of an atom into two smaller fragments with a neutron. This method usually involves isotopes of uranium (uranium-235, uranium-233) or plutonium-239.

Nuclear fusion -You can bring two smaller atoms, usually hydrogen or hydrogen isotopes (deuterium, tritium), together to form a larger one (helium or helium isotopes); this is how the sun produces energy

2. the bomb part: a nuclear bomb can be detonated in many forms, from a rocket to a fixed device or a shell without selfpropulsion. But I don't want to explain each form as it would take way to much space, and maybe it would be boring.
