In theory, one with high enough yield could destroy whatever one wanted to. However no device has ever existed with enough yield to destroy a whole state in one blast (with the possible exception of Rhode Island, the full yield 100 megaton version of the USSR's Tsar Bomba might have just been able to, but even this was never actually built).
Note: above a yield of a few hundred megatons their use as weapons to destroy things becomes somewhat impractical as the majority of their blast energy is simply wasted in blowing the atmosphere above the detonation off into space.

How many square miles can a atomic bomb destroy?
The extent of destruction caused by an atomic bomb can vary significantly depending on several factors including the bomb's yield, height of detonation, and surrounding geography. In general, a fairly powerful atomic bomb could potentially cause destruction over an area of several square miles, with severe damage concentrated closer to the detonation point.
Can a nuclear bomb or reaction blow up a whole state?
Yes and no depending on the size of the bomb or reaction and also the size of the state if it was Texas the bomb or reaction would have to be as big as or bigger then an apartment room.But a nuclear bomb isn't the most powerful bomb in the world the most powerful bomb is a hydrogen bomb.
Can a atomic bomb blow up california?
An atomic bomb has the potential to cause significant destruction to a specific area, but it would not be able to literally blow up an entire state like California due to its size. The impact of an atomic bomb would be contained to a specific radius around the point of detonation.
What is the circumference of an atomic's bomb explosion?
The circumference of an atomic bomb explosion can vary depending on the size and yield of the bomb. In general, the blast radius of a typical atomic bomb explosion can extend several miles from the epicenter.
Who discoverd the atomic bomb?
The atomic bomb was developed during World War II as part of the Manhattan Project. The project was spearheaded by the United States and led by scientists such as J. Robert Oppenheimer, who is often credited as the "father of the atomic bomb."
Will an atomic bomb really destroy the world?
Given the power of modern atomic bombs, it is unlikely that a single atomic bomb could destroy the world. It is doubtful that a single atomic bomb could cause irreparable damage to civilization (given humanity's spread across the planet etc)
