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.

What were the names of the atom bombs?
the names of the atomic bombs were Fatman and little boy
What is he difference between an atom bomb and a hydrogen bomb?
The original attomic bombs were fission weapons- heavy elements such as uranium and plutonium were fissioned (broken apart) into lighter elements, releasing energy. So called hydrogen bombs use fusion as part of their process. Very light elements, such as hydrogen, are fused (mashed together) and become heavier elements, releasing energy. You should note that fusion bombs usually use a fission weapon to start the nuclear reaction.
What is the different between a nuclear bomb and an atom bomb?
Nuclear bombs before the 60s were referred to as atom bombs, because the term Nuclear hadn't been discover yet. Nuclear bombs today, are generally Hydrogen bombs, or fusion bombs. They are significantly more powerful, able to places about the size of Rhode Island. Atom bombs,which were mostly uranium and plutonium, lack the destructive power of Nuclear or Fusion bombs.
Should more atom bombs be produced?
No.
Why are atom bombs important?
For eradicating pests
Where are atom bombs made?
Los Alamos
Why is the hydrogen atom used for nuclear bombs?
because it is small is fusable and fissable. Further answer It's not used for all atom bombs. In fact the first ones weren't. Uranium and plutonium were the elements used. They were fissile, i.e. capable of sustaining a chain reaction when they split into other elements. More recently hydrogen was used but this time is fuses to form another element (helium) with a very large release of energy.
How many types of atom bomb in the word?
None. There are no types of atom bombs in "The word"
What color is an atom in a bomb?
atoms do not have color, in or out of bombs.
