Nuclear bombs release enormous amounts of energy in the form of heat, light, and radiation. The explosion creates a blast wave that can cause widespread destruction, along with radioactive fallout that can be harmful to humans and the environment.
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 can use either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion as the primary mechanism of energy release. Most nuclear bombs in current arsenals rely on nuclear fission reactions, while thermonuclear bombs use a fission reaction to trigger a fusion reaction.
Yes, nuclear bombs produce gamma radiation as a result of the nuclear fission or fusion reactions that release high-energy photons. Gamma radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that accompanies the explosion of nuclear devices.
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.
Yes, there is nuclear energy in nuclear bombs. It is released in a few microseconds when they are detonated.

Without knowing the yield of your hypothetical nuclear bombs it is not possible to answer this question. Please clarify.

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.
Uranium is the element commonly used to generate electricity in nuclear power plants and as the primary material for nuclear bombs. It undergoes nuclear reactions such as fission to release large amounts of energy.
At this time the US builds no nuclear bombs. A small number of existing bombs are refurbished as needed.
