If a nuclear bomb hit, it would cause catastrophic damage and death to the surrounding area. The bomb sends out a fire ball that destroys buildings and everything in its pathway. It also sends out radiation in the form of gamma rays that is harmful to everything around it. It is unsure the exact damage, because each individual could be exposed to different amounts.

What would be the fallout area if Chicago were hit with a nuclear bomb?

That would depend on yield, height of burst, if the bomb was "salted" or not, wind, and weather conditions. Fallout is very hard to predict.

Why does an atomic bomb explode?

It explodes because it contains a critical mass of unstable atoms of a heavy metal such as Uranium-235 or Plutonium-239. When the nucleus of one of these large atoms is hit by a neutron, the atom splits into two medium-size atoms such as Barium and Krypton or Strontium and Xenon, and also releases 2 or more free neutrons and a burst of energy. This process is called Nuclear Fission. The free neutrons from one nuclear fission can then create more fissions, and a Chain Reaction is begun. More fissions release more neutrons which create more fissions which release even more neutrons, etc. If conditions are right, this chain reaction proceeds explosively to form a Nuclear Fission Bomb or "Atomic Bomb". If this chain reaction is slowed and controlled, then the nuclear fission produces heat energy which can be used to boil water in a Nuclear Power Plant. Rapid fission, nuclear bomb. Slow controlled fission, nuclear power plant.

Why used nuclear bombs at war time?

They're very destructive and last for a long time, In other words, once you've blown up a nuclear bomb somewhere, it will still be dangerous after the initial explosion has taken place. When a nuclear bomb is used there would be nuclear radiation that would still be present where the bomb hit for quite a while
