That may depend. Atoms have stored in to them megatons of energy. For example, the atomic bomb's designs were based off of radium and plutonium charges. However, when the weapon was activated, it split atoms, causing the explosions. The radium's radioactivity caused the spread of radiation.

Energy stored in the atoms and molecules of a substance is?

potential energy. This energy is stored in the form of chemical bonds between the atoms and molecules of a substance. When these bonds are broken or rearranged, this potential energy can be released as heat or used to do work.


What type of energy conversions occur when energy is given off by splitting atoms turn into water steam?

When energy is given off by splitting atoms, it is converted from nuclear energy to thermal energy. This thermal energy is then used to heat water and turn it into steam, which can be used to drive turbines and generate electrical energy, converting the thermal energy into mechanical and then electrical energy.

When the kinetic energy of atoms increases thermal energy increases or decreases?

Thermal energy (temperature) is the measurement of kinetic energy of atoms moving in a substance, therefore, as the speed (kinetic energy) of these atoms increases, thermal energy increases as well.


Is the energy of moving atoms an example of thermal energy?

Yes, the energy of moving atoms is an example of thermal energy. Thermal energy is the internal energy present in a system due to the motion of its particles, like atoms and molecules. The faster the atoms move, the higher the thermal energy of the system.


What is Energy created from the fission of atoms?

Energy is created from the fission of atoms through the splitting of atomic nuclei, which releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. This process is used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity.


Do atoms have kinetic energy.?

Yes, atoms have kinetic energy as they are constantly in motion due to their thermal energy. This kinetic energy contributes to the overall temperature of the substance in which the atoms are located.


What the energy of moving atoms?

Kinetic energy is possessed by moving atoms. It is the energy possessed by particles in motion.


Where is the energy stored in a compound?

Since chemical energy is a type of potential energy, it is hard - and doubtful - to pinpoint the energy exactly. There is energy in the fact that atoms are in a certain configuration, or in the fact that atoms are separate - atoms that would be in a lower energy state if they combined. The potential energy is in the system configuration - not in any particular component.Since chemical energy is a type of potential energy, it is hard - and doubtful - to pinpoint the energy exactly.
