Nuclear Reactions aside, since those are not subject to the question as it is stated...
2H2 + O2 -> 2H20 released the most energy , Pound for pound, of any explosive chemical reaction known to man... This is because the extremely low mass of the molecules (atom pairs) involved.

I believe it is hydrogen ( deuterium and tritium ) that is fused to create a "hydrogen" or "fusion" bomb. An atom bomb is necessary to fuse the hydrogen together to create helium and destroying a little matter that is released as energy. The sun destroys several tons of matter to energy every second. The sun uses its intense gravity to fuse hydrogen into helium.
