A nuclear bomb is a type of bomb that releases energy from splitting atoms (fission), whereas a plutonium bomb specifically uses plutonium as the primary fissile material to create the explosive chain reaction. Plutonium bombs are a subset of nuclear bombs.
Nuclear bombs are made of highly enriched uranium or plutonium. These materials undergo a nuclear fission chain reaction, releasing enormous amounts of energy in the form of heat and radiation, resulting in a powerful explosion. Additionally, nuclear bombs contain conventional high explosive materials to trigger the nuclear reaction and amplify the blast.
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.
Plutonium is the preferred fuel for nuclear bombs due to its greater efficiency in sustaining a nuclear chain reaction compared to uranium. Its higher fissionability and smaller critical mass make it the more suitable choice for achieving the explosive yield required in nuclear weapons.
Cesium is not a typical material used in the construction of atomic bombs. The primary materials used in atomic bombs are uranium or plutonium. Cesium may be a byproduct of nuclear reactions in atomic bombs, but it is not a key component.
Uranium, plutonium or hydrogen.
That may be a difficult question if you are referring to what contains plutonium then nuclear bombs and missiles contain plutonium
Some do. Others use Uranium.
In World War 2 the Nuclear bombs were Uranium and Plutonium. Nowadays they use Hydrogen.

there were two types of nuclear bombs. A "gun type" bomb and an implosion type one with a plutonium core
nuclear bomb = plutonium + weapon
It depends which type it is. It can be Uranium or Plutonium

plutonium and uranium
Both basically are the same, they can be fission or fusion bombs like Uranium,Plutonium and Hydrogen bombs. A general description would be that atomic bombs are fission bombs. Nuclear bombs are fusion bombs. Fusion bombs are more powerful weight for weight
If we are talking about the nuclear bombs used in ww2, 1 plutonium bomb and 1 uranium bomb.
