atomic bombs get there power from the energy released by splitting an atom.
A nucleus is fired into an unstable isotopse such as Uranium 235 and the Uranium is split into two daughter nuclei. A cloud of electrons, along with some energy, is released. Each of the electrons in turn splits another atom, creating a large chain reaction, and this releases enough energy to power an atomic bomb.
