It is a nuclear change not a chemical one. The energy for the yield originates from the nuclei of the atoms and the electrons (where chemical energy resides) are uninvolved in the process.

Nuclear 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.
What type of nuclear reaction does the hydrogen bomb rely on?
Nuclear fusion.
Why did the Americans call their nuclear bomb the little boy?

Does a nuclear change result from a chemical reaction?
Nope. (Well, the chemical reaction of the high explosives in an A- or H-bomb warhead result in high pressure that then results in a nuclear change (BOOM), but that's a side-effect, not a direct result of the chemical change.)
What are examples of physical chemical and nuclear change in the same matter?
Physical change: Water freezing into ice Chemical change: Water being broken down into hydrogen and hydroxide ions after the addition of a pure metal.
Does the explosion in a nuclear bomb count as a rapid chemical reaction?
No, a nuclear bomb involves a nuclear chain-reaction.A chemical reaction involves the orbiting electrons in an atom.A nuclear reaction involves the nucleus (hence "Nuclear") of an atom.
What makes the atomic bomb different from other powerful bombs?
The atomic bomb involves a nuclear chemical change whereas conventional explosive only involve electrochemical changes.
Is a bomb exploding a chemical or physical change?
It is usually a chemical change.
Is the Hiroshima bomb a physical change or a chemical change?
physical
Is sun burning chemical change?
No. It is a nuclear change.
When does chemical energy change into nuclear energy?
This does not happen, they are quite differenwell sometime chemical change into nuclear by going to thermal energy
Is atomic bomb a chemical change?
Work of an atomic bomb is a physical process.
Is splitting uranium in a power plant a physical nuclear or chemical change?
It is a nuclear change because there is a change in the nuclear structure of Uranium.
Is a atomic bomb physical or chemical change?
Work of an atomic bomb is a physical process.
What is the difference between nuclear bomb and plutonium bomb?
A nuclear bomb is any bomb with any nuclear or atomic material inside it, while a plutonium bomb is a specific type of nuclear bomb. Plutonium could be the nuclear material inside the bomb, and if it is, it's a plutonium bomb.
