Yes a hydrogen bomb is much more powerful than an atomic bomb. If the question is true or false, the answer is true. If asked to explain, a hydrogen bomb is up to 5000 times more powerfull than an atomic bomb this is because an atom bobm splits one atom, realeasing energy, but a hydrogen bomb fuses two hydrogen molecules, creating an even larger output of energy because of the reaction of the fission.
