Thunder is the sound that lightening makes. Sound travels through air at "the speed of sound." Officially, the speed of sound is 331.3 meters per second (1,087 feet per second) in dry air at 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). At a temperature like 28 degrees C (82 degrees F), the speed is 346 meters per second. As you can see, the speed of sound changes depending on the temperature and the humidity; but if you want a round number, then something like 350 meters per second and 1,200 feet per second are reasonable numbers to use. So sound travels 1 kilometer in roughly 3 seconds and 1 mile in roughly 5 seconds. When you see the flash of a lightning bolt, you can start counting seconds and then divide to see how far away the lightning struck. If it takes 10 seconds for the thunder to roll in, the lightning struck about 2 miles or 3 kilometers away.
Sound travels through the air at a speed of about 330 metres per second. If we assume that there is a lightning strike to the ground about 2 km from where you are standing, the sound created at that point will take about 6 seconds to reach you. However, the upper end of the lightning flash could be somewhere in a cloud 3 km from you. The sound from this point will take a further 3 seconds to reach you. The sound from intermediate points on the lightning flash will be spread over 3 seconds. Instead of hearing a single clap, the sound will therefore merge into one continuous roll.

A thunder "slap" does not exist. A thunder "clap" does. A thunder clap is the term given to the sound thunder is and makes.
Thunder results from the rapid expansion of air along a lightning strike.

No. Thunder is the sound produced by lightning. Lightning is a form of electricity.
It really depends on the thunder. A tremor or volcanic eruption can sound like distant thunder. The thunder of a close by lightning strike can sound like a bomb or grenade.
