"A-bomb" describes ; a weapon that derives its energy from nuclear reactions and has enormous destructive power; in particular, those that rely on the uncontrolled explosive chain reaction of nuclear fission.

"A-bomb" is informal English meaning ; a weapon that derives its energy from nuclear reactions and has enormous destructive power; in particular, those that rely on the uncontrolled explosive chain reaction of nuclear fission. It is used widely across English varieties. A more formal or neutral equivalent would be something like "" expressed in standard vocabulary. A common mistake is to assume "A-bomb" can replace its standard equivalent in every register; keep it for spoken or casual situations and use the formal form in writing.
