No, it is called an atom bomb because it derives its power from splitting uranium and/or plutonium atoms.
If you split wood with an axe, no. Atom splitting requires an extremely large amount of energy and causes an explosion.
When you split an atom, you create a nuclear fission. The energy from splitting that atom is converted to electricity. To split an atom means to literally "break it in half." An atom has a nucleus with negatively charged electrons around it. The reaction of the atom splitting is so large that a small amount can convert into numerous amounts of energy.
yes, have you ever seen an Atomic Bomb blast! Well that is the splitting od atoms.
