The atomic bomb is powerful because it effects (causes) a conversion of some matter (mass) into energy.
Einstein's equation E=MC2 shows us that the amount of energy released (E) is equal to the mass (M) times the velocity of light (V) squared; and the velocity of light is a very large number (299,792,458 metres per second).
In an atomic bomb as the plutonium or uranium is bombarded by free neutrons, it splits into smaller atoms and there is a little bit of mass lost in the process. This mass loss is the energy released by the bomb and it is far more energy than can be achieved by a chemical reaction involving the same amount of material.

Is an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb more powerful?
The terms "atomic bomb" and "nuclear bomb" are general terms and can pretty much be used interchangeably. That said, there isn't any difference between them, and one is not more powerful than the other in that light.
Which one is more powerful A Nuke or an Atomic Bomb?
An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon, which includes both fission and fusion bombs. A nuke is a colloquial term for a nuclear weapon, which can refer to either an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb. Hydrogen bombs are generally more powerful than traditional atomic bombs.
What is the most powerful fusion weapon?
The most powerful fusion weapon developed so far is the hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb. It combines nuclear fission and fusion reactions to release an immense amount of energy, thousands of times more powerful than atomic bombs.
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.
The temperature of the atomic bomb hiroshima?
The temperature at the hypocenter of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima reached around 7,000 degrees Fahrenheit (3,870 degrees Celsius). This extreme heat generated a powerful fireball and caused widespread destruction in the city.

20 kilotons
Hydrogen bomb compared with atomic bomb?
A hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb, is more powerful than an atomic bomb. It relies on nuclear fusion, where atoms are combined, to release immense amounts of energy. In comparison, an atomic bomb uses nuclear fission, where atoms are split, to generate explosive energy.
Is an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb more powerful?
The terms "atomic bomb" and "nuclear bomb" are general terms and can pretty much be used interchangeably. That said, there isn't any difference between them, and one is not more powerful than the other in that light.
What is stronger between the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb?
In general, a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb) is more powerful than a fission (atomic) bomb. Fusion bombs use an atomic bomb to begin the fusion reaction.
