Answer: Hydrogen bomb uses the process of nuclear fusion reactions.

Explanation: Nuclear fusion reactions are the reactions in which two lighter nuclei fuse together to form a heavier nuclei.

Hydrogen bomb uses the fusion of isotopes of hydrogen. These reactions require a large amount of heat to be initiated.

Reaction for the hydrogen bomb are:

Step 1 :
_1^1H+_1^1H\rightarrow _1^2H+_(+1)^0e

Step 2:
_1^1H+_1^2H\rightarrow _2^3He

Step 3:
_1^1H+_2^3He\rightarrow _2^4He+_(+1)^0e

Overall reaction:
4_1^1H\rightarrow _2^4He+2_(+1)^0e

The hydrogen bomb is also known as Thermonuclear bomb.
