The hydrogen bomb was more destructive than the atomic bomb.
Brief explanation: The atomic bomb (fission) splits heavy nuclei and yields kiloton-level blasts; the hydrogen (thermonuclear) bomb uses fusion (often with a fission primary) and can produce much larger yields (megaton-range), making it far more powerful.
