The first one was a 'atomic-bomb' which used nuclear fission which is the splitting of 'large, heavy' elements. ie ones with a high mass number. The other type of bomb is a 'Hydrogen-Bomb' which is nuclear fussion; the same process as the sun produces energy. This is small atoms gaining a proton becoming a larger element. In this case Hydrogen is turning into Helium. This process produces much more energy.
