What are the 3 main types of nuclear reactions?
Nuclear fission: When an element breaks apart to form lighter elements and other sub-atomic particles. Nuclear fusion: When two lighter elements fuse to form heavier ones.
What is the splitting of an atomic nucleus to form two smaller nuclei of roughly equal mass?
Nuclear fission
What nuclei are fused in the nuclear reaction of a hydrogen bomb?
Deuterium (heavy hydrogen) nuclei and tritium nuclei to form helium nuclei. This comes from lithium deuteride in modern "dry" hydrogen bombs. Neutrons from fission splits the lithium generating tritium just before fusion is ignited..
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
Which process is not a common form of natural radioactive decay?
Nuclear fission

Is splitting of atoms a form of nuclear decay?
No, the splitting of atoms is nuclear fission.
What element is in the core of a nuclear bomb?
Severely over simplifying things:In a fission bomb ultra isotopicly pure Uranium-235, Uranium-233, and/or Plutonium-239.In a fusion bomb lithium and deuterium (heavy hydrogen) in the form of solid lithium-deuteride.
Where do you get nuclear fission?
You get nuclear fission in:nuclear fission reactorsatomic fission bombs
What is the splitting of an atomic nucleus to form two smaller nuclei of roughly equal mass?
Nuclear fission
Is atoms splitting a form of nuclear energy?
Yes it is called nuclear fission and it does form energy. Hence the radioactive bombs.
What nuclei are fused in the nuclear reaction of a hydrogen bomb?
Deuterium (heavy hydrogen) nuclei and tritium nuclei to form helium nuclei. This comes from lithium deuteride in modern "dry" hydrogen bombs. Neutrons from fission splits the lithium generating tritium just before fusion is ignited..

The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called?
nuclear fission
What fuels are used for nuclear weapons?
Uranium mainlyPlutonium and Uranium in fission weapons, Lithium deuteride in fusion weapons, occasionally small amounts of Tritium gas to boost fission weapons with fusion.
What form of nuclear energy splits a nucleus?
Splitting an atom is Fission.
