That is nuclear fission. An example is that of a Uranium-239 atom undergoing beta decay. That is, a neutron in the nucleus ejects and electron, becoming a proton, resulting in Uranium-239 becoming Neptunium-239.

Bacteria are unicellular organisms with no?
Bacteria are unicellular organisms that do not have a nuclei.
What is a plural nucleus?
nuclei
What word means pertaining to one nucleus?
Well obviously in any one atom or cell there can only be ONE nucleus. However, the plural of "nucleus" is "nuclei", as in "the nuclei of the cells visible under the microscope were all stained blue and the nucleus of one cell stood out from the rest".
Do plants have a nucleus?
Yes, all eukaryotic cells - including plant cells - have a nucleus.
Which organelles contain DNA?
Nuclei and Mitochondria
The binding together of two light nuclei to form a heavier one is called?
A reaction in which small nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus is called a nuclear fusion reaction. Large amounts of energy are required for fusion to happen but it will release even larger amounts of energy.
What nuclear reaction takes places when two atomic nuclei COMBINE into one large nucleus?
Nuclear fusion.
What is this process called when hydrogen nuclei combine with stars to form helium and other heavier elements?
nuclear fusion reaction
What is the name of the nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei?
Fusion.
What the combining of atomic nuclei is?
The combination of two light atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus is called fusion.
What does nuclear fusion mean?
Nuclear fusion refers to a nuclear reaction wherein two light nuclei fuse to form a heavier nucleus. This process releases energy.
What nuclear reaction happens when two small nuclei?
they combine to small nuclei to smaller unit
When two hydrogen nuclei combine to form one helium nucleus fusion has taken place true or false?
Yes it is true. In fusion reactions, two nuclei (not necessarily be hydrogen) combine to form a larger nucleus.
What is the difference between the use of fission as an energy source?
The difference between the use of fission and fusion as an energy source is that in fusion reaction, 2 or more light atomic nuclei fuses to form single heavier nucleus while in fission reaction, heavy atomic nucleus is usually splited into smaller nuclei, other particles and radiation.
What Word is defined in physics as a nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei?
fire
When two hydrogen nuclei combine to form one helium nucleus nuclear fusion has taken place true or false?
Yes it is true. In fusion reactions, two nuclei (not necessarily be hydrogen) combine to form a larger nucleus.
What F-word is defined in physics as a nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei?
fire
