There were a great many bombs dropped on Japan, mainly high explosive bombs, and incendiary bombs. The bomb used on Hiroshima was a atomic bomb holding 115 lbs of Uranium 235 (less than 1% of that was used in the explosion). The bomb dropped on Nagasaki was a Plutonium bomb, holding about 13.6 lbs of Plutonium. (about 20% of that was used up in the explosion)
