what was the name of the bombs on hiroshima?

Answer 1

the A-bomb that was dropped in Hiroshima was called Little Boy. The H-bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki(?) was called Fat Man. The only reason that Hiroshima had a higher death toll was because Fat Man was dropped off of target.

Answer 2

Whoah there Ahil! BOTH Fat Man and Little Boy were atomic bombs (A Bombs) that functioned on the principle of a massive amount of energy being produced by a nuclear fission reaction. An "H-Bomb" is a technology developed almost a decade after the Second World War (early fifties) where the energy produced is created by a nuclear fission reaction supercompressing a hydrogen core which causes a fusion reaction to create a way bigger explosion.

As to the actual names of the devices, "Little Boy" was the name of the device dropped on Hiroshima. It was designed to look like a large conventional bomb and was meant to the be the working design of future nuclear weapons. "Fat Man" was a much larger, unwieldly device that mirrored the proto type weapon that was exploded as a test in New Mexico earlier that year. It was not aimed properly simply because it was of design that was never meant to be dropped out of a plane.
