The weight of a nuclear bomb depends on the bomb. Deliverable nuclear bombs have been built with weights as small as 50 pounds to as large as 30 tons. The first hydrogen bomb built (Ivy Mike test Sausage device) weighed 54 tons, but was never intended as a deliverable bomb (including the cryogenic equipment needed to keep its deuterium-tritium fusion fuel liquid the complete setup weighed 82 tons).
Thermonuclear bombs, or hydrogen bombs, are more destructive than nuclear bombs because they involve a two-stage process: a fission reaction triggers a fusion reaction, resulting in a much larger explosion. This fusion reaction releases much more energy and is more efficient at converting material into energy compared to the fission reaction alone. As a result, thermonuclear bombs are typically much more powerful and devastating than traditional nuclear bombs.
Yes, there is nuclear energy in nuclear bombs. It is released in a few microseconds when they are detonated.
Nuclear bombs before the 60s were referred to as atom bombs, because the term Nuclear hadn't been discover yet. Nuclear bombs today, are generally Hydrogen bombs, or fusion bombs. They are significantly more powerful, able to places about the size of Rhode Island. Atom bombs,which were mostly uranium and plutonium, lack the destructive power of Nuclear or Fusion bombs.
Nuclear bombs release energy from the nucleus of the atom, which is held together by the Strong Force. Conventional bombs release energy from the electron cloud of the atom, which is held to the nucleus by the Electromagnetic Force. The Strong Force is thousands of times stronger than the Electromagnetic Force and thus releases thousands of times as much energy.
Thermonuclear or hydrogen bombs are significantly more powerful than atomic bombs. These bombs use a two-stage process that combines nuclear fission and fusion reactions, resulting in a much larger explosive yield.
None
Some bombs are nuclear. But most bombs are not nuclear.

Beacause millions of lives were taken by the nuclear bombs
No, China has several hundred nuclear bombs and has had bombs since 1964.
At this time the US builds no nuclear bombs. A small number of existing bombs are refurbished as needed.
A nuclear bomb has never been dropped. It was an atomic bomb that was dropped on the Japanese cities Hiroshima ans Nagasaki. An atomic bomb is a nuclear weapon. Nuclear bombs have much more impact than atomic bombs, and could potentially end the World if a nuclear war was started.
This question could be easily misconstrued. While atomic and nuclear explosion mean the same thing, and all atomic bombs are nuclear bombs, not all nuclear bombs are atomic bombs. The more powerful nuclear bombs are hydrogen bombs, and there is a very important fundamental difference between the two. ============================================================== A bomb is fission - the splitting of an atom H bomb is fusion - the joining together of atoms (and much more powerfull)
200 pounds and guess what America we have orders from Chinese general Tao chang fo that we have nuclear bombs facing toward your country
