What kind of energy is released when atoms are rearranged?
The type of energy that comes from a compound that changes as it's atoms are rearranged is known as chemical energy.
Does all life have atoms?
Yes all life has atoms. Everything non-living aswell. Everything has atoms which consist energy, even the desk your sitting at has atoms moving right now although you can not see or feel themEven more specific, all known life (animal or plant) has carbon atoms.
Atoms chemically bonded with other atoms are known as what?
Ions
What type of power splits atoms?
Atomic energy, also called Nuclear energy (since it is the nucleus, or core, of the atom that is split).When the atoms are split, the nuclear energy is a result of what is called Nuclear Fission. When the atoms are merged, the nuclear energy is a result of what is called Nuclear Fusion.
What accounts for the stability of the noble gas electron configuration?
The outer, or valence, shells of the noble gases are completely filled, so that they neither donate to nor accept electrons from other atoms. As a result, noble gas atoms cannot form chemical bonds, so they remain pure. Most elements do not have filled outer shells. Atoms that have nearly full outer shells readily accept electrons, and those with nearly empty outer shells readily donate electrons. "Donated" electrons and "accepted" electrons are simply electrons that are attracted to the nuclei of two atoms. That shared attraction holds the two atoms together. Thus most elements can form chemical bonds.
Do protons in a very large nucleus have a greater chance of flying apart?
Sort of... The general tendency is for a larger atom to be less stable. Above a certain point (after lead) no stable atoms are known to exist.Sort of...

What Is the tendency of atoms to attract the valence electrons of another atom?
This property is technically known as electronegativity.
What is the complete absence of energy known as?
Exhaustion
What kind of energy is released when atoms are rearranged?
The type of energy that comes from a compound that changes as it's atoms are rearranged is known as chemical energy.
When atoms combine with or break apart from other atoms a what occurs?
When new bonds are formed between atoms, energy is released and this process is known as exothermic process. Similarly when old bonds break, energy from the surrounding is absorbed and is known as endothermic process.
What are the different forms of nuclear energy?
There are probably various ways to classify it. Here is one. You can gain energy either by combining atoms that are lighter than iron or nickel into heavier atoms (a process known as fusion), or by splitting heavier atoms into lighter ones (a process known as fission).
All matter is composed of atoms or molecules that have energy of motion also known as?
What we normally call heat or thermal energy.
What energy comes from changes in a nucleus?
Such energy is called nuclear energy. There are basically two different variations on this principle. One, light atoms can be combined into heavier atoms (up to a certain point - somewhere around iron). This is known as fusion. The other is that heavy atoms (heavier than iron) can split into lighter atoms.
What is heat the form of?
Heat, also known as thermal energy, appears in atoms as their subatomic vibrations. The more an atom is vibrating, the hotter it is.
Electrons that exist in an atoms highest occupied energy level are known as?
valence electrons
Where does the energy of a nuclea reacter come from?
The way a nuclear reactor works is that a atom or multiple atoms are either smashed into each other creating a sudden energy explosion, this is known as nuclear fusion. Or individual atoms are split and produces around about the same amount of energy.
Which energy source is power by the sun?
The Sun's energy comes from its great force of gravity smashing together the hydrogen atoms in the Sun's core. This is a process known as nuclear fusion.
