That depends, an atomic weapon from WWII was armed with plutonium 239, bombs now use a more dangerous Uranium armament. In order to use the bomb, a smaller explosion much trigger a chain reaction explosion in order to create, for lack of better terms, a "big bang".

They understood the power of the atomic bomb and feared its use.
The race to the Atomic bomb can be relevant to Macbeth in terms of the moral and ethical implications of scientific advancements. Just as Macbeth faced moral dilemmas in his quest for power, the scientists involved in developing the atomic bomb grappled with the consequences of their actions. Both scenarios raise questions about the responsible use of power and the impact of unchecked ambition.
The atomic bomb is sphere shaped and weird. An atomic explosion is made by taking two halves of a critical mass of fissile material (plutonium or U235) and pushing them together very rapidly. Atomic bombs use conventional explosives to move the fissile material fast enough. If it does not move fast enough it just overheats and melts, rather than exploding. That's the key to designing an atomic bomb. Good luck!
Franklin Roosevelt- but he died before the atomic bomb was used. Harry Truman was the next president, and ordered the use of the atomic bomb.

Leo Szilard invented the atomic bomb & reactor in 1933 as an improved means of transmuting elements. His 1934 patent on this invention also made claims for use in explosives or power generation.
One thing that was not a major factor in the decision to use the atomic bomb was civilian casualties.

The US dropped the atomic bomb onto Japan on August 1945.
In general, a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb) is more powerful than a fission (atomic) bomb. Fusion bombs use an atomic bomb to begin the fusion reaction.
