Depends on the type of bomb. The first nuclear weapons were fission weapons- they used a heavy metal such as Uranium or Plutonium. These metals, when compressed by explosives, would undergo nuclear fission, and break into lighter elements, releasing heat and radiation. Later, larger bombs were fusion bombs. They used a fission bomb to start the nuclear reaction, but then used that energy to FUSE light elements, such as Deuterium and Tritium into heavier elements, releasing LARGE amounts of heat and radiation.

What is the difference between nuclear bomb and plutonium bomb?

Which is stronger Nuclear Bomb or Hydrogen Bomb?
Nuclear bombs is all types of bombs that use nuclear energy. It is not a type of bomb,just a category of bombs. hydrogen bomb is the strongest bomb ever, and its blast yield can go up to 100megatons of TNT.

Which is more destructive a nuclear bomb or a hydrogen bomb?

What was Japan's hope for the future?
to get blown up by a nuclear bomb
When will the nuclear bomb blow up?
When its fusing system triggers it.
Is a bomb a nuclear reaction?
A bomb can be either conventional or nuclear.
How is nuclear energy put into a bomb?
Let's say somebody makes an atomic bomb using U-235. The nuclear energy was in the U-235 all the time (since it was created in a supernova). The people making the bomb simply gather (and enrich!) the uranium.
What happens when two bombs collide?
This question makes no sense as an atomic bomb is a nuclear bomb and vice versa. They are the same thing.
How is a nuclear bomb different then a nuclear accident?
An nuclear bomb is purposefully release to pulse out damage. A nuclear accident, on the other hand, is an accident when a nuclear source (usually referring to a nuclear plant) either blows up or leaks. Although it is normally weaker and less dangerous than a nuclear bomb, a big enough explosion or a serious enough nuclear meltdown can break that limit.
