  • conventional chemical bombs get their energy from the electromagnetic force of the 8 valence band electrons of the outermost S & P orbitals
  • nuclear bombs get their energy from the strong nuclear force that holds the nucleus of the atom together

Note: both operate in accordance with E=Mc2, but as the strong force is several orders of magnitude stronger than the electromagnetic force several orders of magnitude more mass converts to energy in nuclear bombs than in conventional bombs.
