Which is more destructive a nuclear bomb or a hydrogen bomb?

A hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear bomb) is more destructive than a regular nuclear bomb (fission bomb). Hydrogen bombs release much larger amounts of energy and have the potential to create significantly more devastation and damage.


What is used as a trigger in a hydrogen bomb?

A traditional nuclear fission bomb is used as a trigger in a hydrogen bomb. The explosion from the fission bomb generates the high temperatures and pressures needed to initiate the fusion reaction in the hydrogen bomb.


Is the nuclear bomb more powerful than the hydrogen bomb?

Nuclear bomb can mean either fission or fusion bomb. Hydrogen bomb means fusion bomb. The fusion bomb can be built with any yield one wants, just by adding more stages with more fuel. The fission bomb has a theoretical maximum yield that cannot be exceeded.

Which is more destructive an atom bomb or a hydrigen bomb?

A hydrogen bomb is more destructive than an atom bomb. A hydrogen bomb releases much more explosive energy through nuclear fusion reactions, whereas an atom bomb relies on nuclear fission reactions. As a result, a hydrogen bomb can produce a significantly larger explosion and more widespread damage.
