How it's used
While 核子彈 is the technically accurate term for a nuclear weapon, it sounds quite formal and academic. Most people in daily life prefer the shorter 核彈, which is much more common in news reports and casual conversation. Using the full form might make you sound like you are reading from a science textbook.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 導彈, which refers specifically to a missile. A nuclear bomb can be a 導彈, but they are not interchangeable terms.
