How destructive is today's hydrogen bomb?

The most powerful hydrogen bomb ever built had a 50 megaton yield (USSR "Tsar Bomba" 1961), the most powerful hydrogen bomb ever built by the U.S. had a 20 megaton yield ("dirty" high yield warhead for the Titan ICBM, only tested in reduced yield 9 megaton "clean" version). The typical hydrogen bomb in stockpile today is only about 100 kiloton to 300 kiloton as it had been demonstrated that yields higher than this really have little practical military value and actually produce less damage than lower total yield in multiple weapons detonated at multiple locations across the target area.

What is stronger atom bomb or nuke?

An atomic bomb is a nuclear weapon. A nuclear fusion bomb, (hydrogen, is usually much stronger than a nuclear fission bomb (uranium or plutonium). The weapons detonated in Japan during WWII measured about 15 kilotons equivalent of TNT. Today, most nuclear weapons are measured by megaton (1000X kiloton) equivalents up to a bomb built by the Russians with a possible yield of 100 megatons.
