Yes, the hydrogen bomb is far more powerful than the atomic bomb.

when atoms fuse or fission, huge energy will be released. For example, the energy released by the fission of 1 kg of uranium is 2 million times that released by the explosion (chemical reaction) of 1 kg of TNT explosive.

nuclear weapons are a kind of weapons that use nuclear reaction to kill and destroy, mainly including atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs. In addition, depleted uranium bombs made by nuclear decay principle also belong to nuclear bombs. At present, the atomic bomb is mainly made of chain reaction of nuclear fission with heavy nuclei such as uranium 235 or plutonium 239.

hydrogen bombs are also called thermonuclear weapons. At present, hydrogen bombs are called hydrogen bombs because they use hydrogen isotopes deuterium (heavy hydrogen) and tritium (overweight hydrogen) for nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion reaction releases more energy than nuclear fission reaction, so the mass of hydrogen bomb head is smaller under the same explosion equivalent.

China's level of hydrogen bombs is among the highest in the world, even the first in the world.

You need to know the following four points about hydrogen bombs:

1. Hydrogen bombs are weapons that use nuclear fusion energy;

2. The ignition of nuclear fusion requires a high temperature;

3. The temperature of nuclear fusion can be reached by using atomic bombs (fission bombs) as detonators;

4. So hydrogen bombs use atomic bombs as detonators.

at present, all hydrogen bombs need to be detonated by atomic bombs (for example, strictly speaking, nuclear fission needs to be triggered before nuclear fusion occurs). Because the temperature and pressure required by nuclear fusion are much higher than those required by nuclear fission, in order to realize chain nuclear fusion, it is necessary to use the high temperature and high pressure produced in the process of nuclear fission.

There are two theories about the structure of the hydrogen bomb. The first one holds that the hydrogen bomb has three configurations: Taylor-ulam, Yumin and Melaleuca Cake. According to the second classification, there are only two configurations of hydrogen bombs: Taylor-ulam and Yu Min. As for Melaleuca cake, it belongs to the category of "enhanced fission bomb".

China's hydrogen bomb is a sensitive structure, which has the advantages of miniaturization and simple maintenance compared with Taylor-ulam structure. I don't need to say whether China's hydrogen bomb technology is strong or not!
