yes it is.... it is the main part of a nuclear weapon.
A nuclear bomb is any bomb with any nuclear or atomic material inside it, while a plutonium bomb is a specific type of nuclear bomb. Plutonium could be the nuclear material inside the bomb, and if it is, it's a plutonium bomb.
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.
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.
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.
When it comes to heavy elements that are used in weapons and in reactors, uranium and plutonium are both candidates. The first atomic bombs were made of uranium, and they are now pretty much made of plutonium. Some special nuclear reactors are powered by plutonium fuel, but most reactors for power generation use (enriched) uranium for fuel.

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
In World War 2 the Nuclear bombs were Uranium and Plutonium. Nowadays they use Hydrogen.
Some do. Others use Uranium.
A nuclear bomb is any bomb with any nuclear or atomic material inside it, while a plutonium bomb is a specific type of nuclear bomb. Plutonium could be the nuclear material inside the bomb, and if it is, it's a plutonium bomb.
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.
