How powerful is a hydrogen bomb?

A hydrogen bomb is approximately 4.87 times more powerful than an atom bomb. What makes these bombs so powerful is that hydrogen is an extremely inflammable and explosive gas. When the bomb is released, the special coating used on its shell captures tons of friction, which heats the bomb. Then the detonator button is pressed, and the bomb blows up. Also, if the bomb comes in contact with the ground, before the button is pressed, then the heat absorbed by the bomb will set fire to the hydrogen inside and blow the bomb up.


Is this an example of chemical reactions Energy is created as atoms are destroyed in chemical reactions?

No Energy can not be created or destroyed, it can only change form Matter cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form. -- - -- Like stated above, energy can't be destroyed nor created. Only harnessed to only than be used and changed in form. Matter however CAN be destroyed, its exactly what an atomic bomb, hydrogen bomb or nuclear reaction plant does; annihilates molecules harnessing its potential energy. The law of conservation basically states that you either have matter or you have energy.
