What is the difference between a conventional bomb and an atomic bomb?

A standard bomb relies on the explosive power of chemical energy, like TNT for example. The size of the blast will depend on the amount of explosives packed into the bomb. After the blast, there will be the "usual" damage, which will be proportionate to the size of the bomb. Destruction and casualties will present as they always have from the blast of a weapon. With a nuclear weapon, the energy is derived from the nuclei of atoms (using either fission or fusion). It is nuclear energy, and nuclear weapons are, by tapping into this type of energy, able to deliver a much larger blast and broader blast effects than conventional weapons. The blast can be thousands or millions of times more devastating than any conventional bomb blast. And in addition to killing in the way chemical explosives do, it can also severely burn and can irradiate victims, and they can die weeks, months or even years after surviving the initial blast. There is also the element of nuclear "residue" from the nuclear blast. Radioactive contaminants will be found on the ground and in the air. And the airborne ones will circulate according to local weather patterns. This will create what is called fallout, and the radioactive materials can be deposited many miles from ground zero. This ends up creating health damaging effects far from the site of the blast.


If atom are smallest particle than why atom bomb are getting blast?

Atoms are NOT the smallest particle- they are the smallest COMPLETE particle. In an atomic reaction, the atoms are broken apart, and release energy.
