The term A bomb usually refers to a fission bomb (i.e. nuclei explode) of the materials uranium or plutonium. An H bomb is a hydrogen fusion bomb. That means that hydrogen nuclei are joined together to helium to form helium.

An A bomb is a nuclear missile which shoots a neutron into atoms - such as plutonium and uranium - on impact. This causes a fission reaction. Fussion reactions create vast amounts of heat. An H bomb is an uncontrolled fusion reaction. Fusion reactions need temperatures of about 5000ºC (If memory serves me correctly) to work. So the bomb, on impact, makes a fission reaction which brings the temperature high enough for a fusion reaction to take place. Fusion reactions have a much more devistating reaction than a fission reaction. I will be changing this once I find my science books... Interesting fact... Fusion reactors haven't been made yet. When the atoms reach a high enough temperature, they create a semi-gaseous (the gaseous part may be incorrect,but I've read this before and am pretty sure it's a gas) substance. This is called plasma. This, however, can not be contained because of the immense heat.
