By "bombs," I assume you mean explosive compounds. A complete bomb would include the metal of the casing, the batteries of the detonator, the paint on the outside, etc.
Essentially, an explosive is a compound that oxidizes very rapidly. Oxidation is the same process responsible for rust and fire and the redness of our blood. One chemical all bombs must have, or get, is oxygen. In fact, the science of explosive design is principally mixing chemicals in such a way that the oxygen in the reaction will be put to use. Other chemicals commonly found are nitrogen, hydrogen, sulfur, chlorine and sometimes aluminum.
How rapid is rapid? Well, if you could somehow get a wire coat hanger to rust from one end, it might take a week or more to travel an inch along its length; if you burned a sheet of newspaper, flames would probably devour it in less than half a minute; if you could start an explosive reaction in a modern detonating compound like RDX, the reaction would travel nine kilometers in one second.

What is in World War I bombs?
Below I have added some links about some unconventional bombs that were used during World War 1. Bombs basically have chemicals/powders that ignite when the bomb lands or a detonator causes the bomb to explode. You will be amazed at what bombs were around then when you see the links.

Can smoke bombs be used as lethal weapons?
The answer is that smoke bombs are not designed as lethal weapons. However, it can happen that someone may choke on the smoke and asphyxiate or may have an allergy to the chemicals used in the smoke bombs, that are also known as smoke grenades. Therefore it can be said that sometimes smoke bombs can be lethal.
