Where do you get nuclear fission?
You get nuclear fission in:nuclear fission reactorsatomic fission bombs
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
A nuclear reaction in which an atoms nucleus is split into two smaller nuclei and energy is released as heat is known as?
nuclear fission
How is hydrogen changed into helium in nuclear fission?
Hydrogen is not changed into helium in nuclear fission. In nuclear physics, nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more lighter atomic nuclei are forced together and are fused into a heavier nucleus. In the case of the formation of hydrogen into helium, our sun does that in what is called the proton-proton reaction.
The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called?
The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called nuclear fission. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the principle behind nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
What is splitting of atomic nuclei?
Splitting of atomic nuclei, also known as nuclear fission, is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts. This process releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
What term is use to describe splitting a large atomic nucleus into smaller ones?
Nuclear fission is defined as splitting large nuclei into smaller ones.
What is it called when nuclear fission is repeated?
It is called nuclear chain fission reaction.
What would happen to the type of atom when the number of protons is changed?
It would become an atom of a different element. This can only happen during radioactive decay, nuclear fusion, or nuclear fission.
Why is it called Nuclear Fission?
It is called nuclear fission as in this process the heavy nuclei are split into fragments (or fission products).
Where does fission occour?
Nuclear fission occurs in fission reactors, a type of nuclear reactor, and in fission bombs, more commonly knows as atomic bombs.
