Atom or atomic bomb is an older term. The modern term is Nuclear Weapon or Nuclear Device.

Then of course there are Thermonuclear weapons (typically these are the large strategic nukes), which are also called "Hydrogen Bombs". These typically consist of a primary or trigger, which is basically a small nuclear weapon. This tiny nuke sets off a larger secondary inside the weapon which causes a fusion reaction and a very large explosion.

Hydrogen bombs did not exist until 1952, seven years after Nagasaki was bombed and deliverable hydrogen bombs did not exist until 1954.

The bomb dropped on Nagasaki was carried by a B-29 bomber, the hydrogen bomb of 1954 was so big that only the much larger B-36 bomber (that was not available until after World War 2 ended) could carry it.
