Decay is used in the atomic sense similarly to how you would always use it; gradually falling apart over time. Fission, however, is an instantaneous process, more akin to hammering an ice-pick into a block of ice than to a hill weathering away from wind and rain. The only thing similar about them are that the products existing after both processes finish are in a lower energy state.

What is splitting of atomic nuclei?
FISSION. nobody on this website knows the answer..... SHAME
Which process is not a common form of natural radioactive decay?
Nuclear fission
What is a radioactive decay of the spent fuel?
The nuclear fission process produces a range of lighter elements as fission products, and many of these are radioactive.
The two processes which produce nuclear changes are?
Fission & Fusion. I JUST now got an answer right by using this. Good Luck! :D Hope this was helpful.
Does atomic mass stay the same?
The atomic mass of a radioactive atoms is changed during the radioactive decay (alpha decay, neutron decay, proton decay, double proton decay), spontaneous or artificial fission, nuclear reactions.
What is the transformation of uranium?
- radioactive decay - nuclear fission - nuclear reactions

What happens to the nucleus?
Nuclear reactions, radioactive decay, natural fission

Nuclear fission
What is a radioactive decay of the spent fuel?
The nuclear fission process produces a range of lighter elements as fission products, and many of these are radioactive.
Types of nuclear reactions are?
There are four types of nuclear reactions. Fusion Fission Radioactive Decay Artificial Transmutation
What is the release of nuclear particles and energy called?
If atoms are radioactive, they can emit alpha,beta, or gamma radiation. The energy of the particles or rays emitted depends on the exact isotopes concerned, and varies widely from one to another.

The atomic mass of a radioactive atoms is changed during the radioactive decay (alpha decay, neutron decay, proton decay, double proton decay), spontaneous or artificial fission, nuclear reactions.
How can nuclear changes occur?
These can happen by fission where a nucleus splits into two parts on absorbing a neutron, or by radioactive decay.
Is a bomb an example of nuclear energy?
Yes, radioactive decay results in the release of nuclear energy. The radioactive decay of an atom is the result of changes in the atom's nucleus, so energy released will be nuclear energy by definition.
Nuclear energy is released during what?
During that one time, you know. That one time is that one Science thing..? I am putting this up here because all of you other douchebags do this type of stuff, when I really need the answer. So, thanks boo boo..
