It will if it is fused for airburst. This is selected to maximize the area and severity of blast and thermal flash effects.
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.
No, a bomb is not necessarily a nuclear reaction. A bomb can be any device that is designed to explode and cause destruction, whereas a nuclear reaction involves the splitting or combining of atomic nuclei to release energy. Nuclear bombs, also known as atomic bombs, utilize nuclear reactions to produce a very powerful explosion.
Yes, there is nuclear energy in nuclear bombs. It is released in a few microseconds when they are detonated.
The first use of nuclear energy before electricity was in the form of nuclear weapons, such as the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II in 1945.
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.
The bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were atomic bombs and not nuclear bombs and were designed to explode above the ground and not on impact.
yes
Some atomic bombs explode on impact, most explode in the air for maximum destruction caused by the explosion spreading out over a wider area.
Nuclear plants don't explode, they melt down. Nuclear bombs (atom bombs) explode. There won't be any signs that a nuclear explosion is "about to occur"-- there won't be any warning unless defense computers recognize an incoming warhead missile. BUT, still, there won't be signs beforehand. Just look up the bombing of Japan.
Detonated means has caused to explode or has exploded. This is commonly used in reference to bombs and other nuclear weapons.
The nuclear was a secret before the bombs hit the targets.

Some bombs are nuclear. But most bombs are not nuclear.
no
If you mean the bombs that explode is : βόμβες
explode
