It would be interesting to build such a Bomb.

What makes you think such a thing even exists? What is its principle of operation? You can't just stick words together and then it's a "thing". (Electron bombs! Cabbage bombs! Helium bombs! Whipped-cream bombs!)

It exists, but it needs an ample amount of electrons to function.

All bombs are quark bombs. In the same way a chocolate bomb is an atom bomb because it's made of atoms.

I posit to you, sir, that chocolate is an aethereal substance of its own divine nature!

My mum used to say that if an alcoholic is addicted to alcohol, then someone addicted to chocolate should be a chocolatic or chockic; and that the word chocoholic was absurd.
