No. The hydrogen bomb is the most powerful bomb in the world.
The first atomic bombs split atoms of Uranium and/or Plutonium.
Later development in theory and technology have made the Hydrogen bomb possible.
This is in fact a 'normal' atomic bomb with a core of hydrogen. When the Atomic bomb goes off, this create an immense pressure on the hydrogen. This pressure (and heat) causes a fusion reaction of Hydrogen atoms.
A 'relatively' small atomic bomb can trigger a quite large payload of hydrogen fusion material.
Further developments of this massive destructive weapon has been to implement yet another core with radioactive material filled with more hydrogen. This inner core get super compressed by the first explosions, something of which drastically adds to the speed of material being consumed. Explosion being amplified tenfold.
All such powerful devices are named 'nuclear' devices or nuclear bombs.
Some are mostly a fission bomb, and others are mostly a fusion bomb.
The fusion bombs are more powerful than fission bombs alone when comparing size and weight of 'stuff that go boom'
Both fission and fusion bombs are considered atomic bombs, and their kind is among the most powerful devices known to man today.
In theory, it should be possible to make an Antimatter payload. Something like a few grams could rival the energy released by the most powerful bombs today.

Which is most powerful a nuke an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb?
An H-Bomb is 1000 times stronger than an atomic bomb. Atomic explosions are based on splitting atoms and is a fission explosion or fission bomb. The Hydrogen bomb (also called H-Bomb) is a Fusion reaction where atoms are forced together. Atomic bombs were used in World War II, Hydrogen bombs have been tested, but not used in war.
What is the most sophisticated weapon of world war 2 before the atom bomb?
The atomic bomb. the strongest bomb in the world is the nitrom bomb! Not sure what the first poster meant by "nitrom bomb". If they meant NEUTRON bomb, then they would be correct only in that the neutron bomb was designed to maximize casualties through radiation instead of the heat and blast of other bombs. The explosive "yield" of most neutron bomb designs is in the kiloton range. The most powerful atomic device ever detonated was the Tsar Bomba device detonated by the USSR on October 30, 1961. The original design would have created a 100 megaton explosion, but it was reduced for testing to a 50 megaton device. The test device is believed to be the only one of its type ever built. The "strongest" weapon of world war 2 was indeed the atomic bomb - although their combined explosive yield was still only about 1/1000 of that of the Tsar Bomba device. Even so, the atomic bombs were themselves about a thousand times as powerful as any of the conventional bombs used during the 2nd world war.
What was a goal of president Truman ordering research of the hydrogen bomb?
WW2 ended with the nuclear attack on Japan. The cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki suffered the consciences of the nuclear bomb. With the United States using these powerful weapons, Russia begun research on the nuclear bomb and in a period of time, they got their nuclear bomb ready. The nations in power were in the "who got the most powerful bomb" race. The nuclear arms race was central to the Cold War. Many feared where the Cold War was going with the belief that the more nuclear weapons you had, the more powerful you were. Both America and Russia massively built up their stockpiles of nuclear weapons. The world greatly changed when USA exploded the H-bomb in 1952. This one bomb was smaller in size than the Hiroshima atomic bomb but 2500 times more powerful. The Russians produced an H-bomb in 1953 and the world became a much more dangerous place.
What was the most powerful weapon ever built?
Atom Bomb
What's more dangerous nukes or atomic bomb?
Both bombs use nuclear reaction, the hydrogen bomb is more powerful because it uses the most abundant substance in the universe.
What was the most powerful weapon is World War II?
The Atomic bomb.
What was the most powerful force in Japan during World War 2?
The atomic bomb.
What made the US and soviet union emerge from the war as superpowers?
the united states had the atomic bomb. The Soviet Union had the world's most powerful army.
What is the most powerful bomb ever built?
The Atomic BOmb tested in New Mexico in the 70's
Is the atomic bomb the World's strongest bomb?
No its actually the TACTICAL NUKE jk no its really the Tsar Bomb AN602 hydrogen bomb most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. Weight=60,000lbs, Length=26ft.
What made the US and the Soviet emerge from the war as superpowers?
the united states had the atomic bomb. The Soviet Union had the world's most powerful army.
What made the US and the Soviet union emerge from the war and superpowers?
the united states had the atomic bomb. The Soviet Union had the world's most powerful army.
What were the three most powerful weapons in World War 2?
Hmmm. The atomic bomb, the German 88 flak gun, and the tiger tank.
What bomb is more powerful then the atomic bomb?
The most powerful weapon currently being produced is the version of the "atomic bomb" that includes further stages. The thermonuclear fusion bomb (H-bomb, hydrogen bomb) can be made much more powerful by adding additional stages to it (more fission, more fusion). The most powerful potential explosive would be an annihilation weapon, combining anti-matter with matter. However, producing the necessary materials (anti-protons) is not feasible using existing technology.
What is the most powerful bomb ever put into existence?
Hydrogen bomb is the most powerful bomb

What was the bomb 1000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb?
The bomb that was 1000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb is often referred to as the Tsar Bomba. It was a hydrogen bomb developed by the Soviet Union and tested on October 30, 1961. The Tsar Bomba had a yield of approximately 50 megatons, making it the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated.
