Is a hydrogen bomb the most powerful?
With a fission bomb (A-bomb) there is a limit of how large it can be. With a fusion bomb (H-bomb), there is NO limit to how large one can be. There may be a limit as to the size of a DELIVERABLE fusion bomb. But an H-bomb that isn't intended to be moved anywhere doesn't have a yield (size/power) limit. So yes, an H bomb is the most powerful weapon that mankind has create, to date. An antimatter bomb could be more powerful, but mankind has yet been able to collect, handle, store antimatter in sufficient amounts as to create a powerful weapon.
What is the most powerful nuclear weapon?
The most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated was the Russian "Tsar Bomba" in 1961. (50 Megatons) It had a yield of 100 megatons of TNT, but was reduced to avoid fallout. People 100 km away would have gotten third degree burns from the heat of the explosion.
What is the biggest nuclear weapon?
The most powerful nuclear weapon detonated was the Tsar Bomb which was a 50 megaton thermo-nuclear bomb that was tested in October 30, 1961, in the Novaya Zemlya archipelago
Is a neutron bomb the most dangerous nuclear weapon?
no, yield is rather low because tungsten is used for fusion tamper instead of Uranium-238, so the fusion neutrons can escape instead of being consumed fissioning Uranium-238.
What is the difference between an atomic bomb and a thermonuclear bomb?
They are both general terms. The term "atomic bomb" can mean any nuclear weapon, either a fission weapon or a fusion weapon (the so-called hydrogen bomb). The term thermonuclear bomb is also used in general, but it usually excludes the fusion bombs. It should be noted, however, that it takes a fission bomb to generate the heat necessary to "set off" a fusion reaction and make a fusion bomb work.

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.
