A nuclear explosion is much more powerful than ordinary ones. This is because the energy does not come from chemical bonds (which can be fairly powerful), but from annihilation of matter. Fortunately it is only a tiny part of each atom's mass that is converted to energy, because by the formula E=mc2, every milligram of matter is the equivalent of an enormous amount of energy.

The only way to release even more energy than that would be to combine particles of matter and anti-matter, which would fully destroy the two cataclysmically. Anti-matter is produced in the opposite reaction, by concentrating that level of energy in one place.
