"The bomb" is one specific bomb. "A bomb" is any one bomb.
Sometimes "the bomb" is also used to refer to the entire idea of atomic bombs: "The bomb was a major factor in the development of the Cold War."

First the correct word is great. Grate sounds the same but refers to a few other things. When something is great one can use the slang term “that’s the bomb” meaning that it is unique or special.

A bomb could either be literally an explosive device or it could also mean something “bombed” like a show or theatrical play that wasn’t good and was not successful.
