The splitting of the nucleus of a large atom into two or more smaller nuclei occurs during nuclear?
The splitting of an atomic nucleus is known as nuclear fission.
What radiation results in the greatest change in atomic number?
Setting aside spontaneous fission, which is the natural "splitting" of an atom into fissin fragments, it is alpha decay that results in the greatest change in atomic number. The alpha particle carries off a helium-4 nucleus, which is a pair of protons and a pair of neutrons. Atomic number of an element involved in an alpha decay goes down by two.
Is splitting an atom's nucleus called fission or fusion?
Splitting an atomic nucleus is atomic fission. Fusion is the fusing or "forcing together" of particles or lighter atomic nuclei that then "stick together" to form a heavier atomic nucleus. Use the links below to learn more.Apex= Fission (Ryan Mcaphee =] )
What is nuclear fission?
the splitting of a nucleus
What is the splitting of a nucleus into smaller nuclei?
"fission"
What is another term for binary fission?
nuclear spilittingNuclear splitting or splitting of the nucleus are another terminology for atomic fission.

The splitting of an atomic nucleus is known as nuclear fission.
The splitting of an atom's nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
The splitting of an atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei is called nuclear fission.
What term is used to describe splitting a large atomic nucleus into two smaller ones?
nuclear fission
What word describes the process of a heavy atomic nucleus splitting into several smaller particles?
Fission
Is nuclear fission splitting two atoms apart?
In general, nuclear fission is the splitting of a single atomic nucleus. One atom with an unstable nucleus splits, either spontantously or perhaps because it has absorbed a neutron. Fission is a physics term applied to the action of the splitting of an atom, not the splitting or "separating" of two atoms.

What term is use to describe splitting a large atomic nucleus into smaller ones?
Nuclear fission is defined as splitting large nuclei into smaller ones.
What is the splitting of an atomic nucleus to form two smaller nuclei of roughly equal mass?
Nuclear fission
What type of nuclear reaction results in a single nucleus undergoing a decrease in atomic number and the release of a helium nucleus?
This is emission of an alpha particle which is a helium nucleus. Thus the atomic number decreases by two and the atomic weight by four, in such a radioactive decay

Why atomic mass is always greater than atomic number?
Atomic number indicates the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element, whereas atomic mass results from protons and neutrons.
