One takes large atoms and breaks them into smaller atoms--called fission (a-bomb).
The other takes really small atoms and fuses them together to make larger atoms--called fusion (h-bomb).

What is the different between atomic bomb and hydrogen bombs?
A hydrogen bomb is an atom bomb; just one that uses hydrogen.
Can Atom bomb worked by atomic fission?
Yes. Later, the Hydrogen Bomb used fission/fusion.
What is the difference between atom bombs and hydrogen bombs?
An atomic bomb is a fission bomb, which uses a type of heavy radioactive metal (usually uranium 235 or plutonium 239). Neutrons split this metal up, resulting in a release of a lot of energy (this is what happens in nuclear power stations). A hydrogen bomb is a fusion bomb, which comes in two parts: a fission device (A-bomb) and a fuel cell composed of hydrogen. The fission device is detonated and the radiation fuses the hydrogen together to form helium, thus also releasing a lot of energy (this is what happens in stars).
Which is more destructive a nuclear bomb or a hydrogen bomb?
the hydrogen bomb, is a nuclear bomb
What is stronger a nuke or atom bomb?
atom bomb
What is the different between atomic bomb and hydrogen bombs?
A hydrogen bomb is an atom bomb; just one that uses hydrogen.
What is the difference between the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb?
fission vs fusion
What sort of explosives made an atom bomb?
Atom Bomb = Uranium H-Bomb = Hydrogen
What was hydrogen bomb?
A bomb that splits a hydrogen atom, which literally explodes the air.
What elements are in atom bombs?
if the bomb is a fission bomb it will use uranium 235 for fuel. if the bomb is a thermonuclear bomb (fusion) it will use the element hydrogen and an isotope of hydrogen for fuel.
Is the atom bomb and the hydrogen bomb the same thing?
No. Atomic bombs use fission, hydrogen bombs use fusion (and are more powerful)
What type of bomb replaced the atom bomb as the new weapon of mass destruction after World War 2?
Hydrogen bomb
Can Atom bomb worked by atomic fission?
Yes. Later, the Hydrogen Bomb used fission/fusion.
What is the difference between a hydrogen bomb and an Uranium bomb and which one is more powerful?
Hydrogen bomb gets some of its energy from fusion, uranium or plutonium bomb gets all of it from fission. Either can be more powerful, depending on the design. The most powerful bombs built have all been hydrogen bombs.
What is the difference between a bagel and an atom bomb?
da difference between a bagel and an atomic bomb is dat a bagel is something dat u eat and an atomic bomb is something dat is used n war and to blow up something like Hiroshima

Which is more damaging Atom bomb or megaton bomb?
Well there is no "Megaton" bombs, but there are hydrogen bombs in the megaton range and they are a lot more powerful. An Atomic bomb can destroy a city. A Hydrogen bomb can destroy a country.
