Splitting an atom (fission) releases energy and more than one neutron. If there is a nearby atom, the neutron can cause the atom to split, releasing more neutrons. The "chain reaction" proceeds exponentially. At each split more energy is released. Eventually the energy is sufficient to wipe out whole cities: an explosion.
A nuclear explosion releasing energy equivalent to seven million tons of TNT is called a megaton explosion.
The explosion from an atomic bomb is so big because it involves the rapid release of a huge amount of energy in a very short time. This energy is released through a process called nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom is split, releasing a tremendous amount of heat and light. This leads to a chain reaction that causes a massive explosion.
The total energy released in a nuclear explosion comes from the conversion of mass into energy, as described by Einstein's equation, E=mc^2. This released energy can be in the form of blast, heat, and radiation. The magnitude of this energy release can be enormous, depending on the size and yield of the nuclear device.
The sound made by an explosion is called a blast. It is characterized by a sudden release of energy creating a loud and intense noise.

The process in which energy is released from glucose is called cellular respiration. This process involves the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) along with carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.

Without using oxygen the process is called an anaerobic process. The amount of energy is much less (2ATP) compared to aerobic (36 ATP).
Energy from glucose is released in the process of cellular respiration. This process occurs in the mitochondria of cells and involves breaking down glucose to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
The potential energy in ATP is released when the terminal high-energy bond is broken through a process called hydrolysis. This process involves the addition of water to ATP, leading to the cleavage of the last phosphate group and the release of energy that can be used for cellular processes.

The process is called metabolism. The mitochrondria function as energy breakdown organelles in the cell. The term for aerobic metabolism is cellular respiration.
Heat and Light
Everything about it is bigger and more intense than a conventional explosion, as more energy is released.
