What is binding energy contributed to?
Nuclear energy is based on the release of binding energy.
How do you work out binding energy?
The binding energy is used in nuclear reactors.
How do you turn nuclear energy into thermal energy?
Nuclear binding energy is what holds the nucleus of an atom together. When an atom is split, some of the binding energy is released. At the level of the atom, it is kinetic energy of the daughter atoms and particles. This is not different from their temperature, and so the nuclear binding energy is turned directly into heat on the fission of the atom. When we speak of nuclear energy, we are often speaking of nuclear power, referring to nuclear power plants. The above answer really works for them also, at the fundamental level.
What energy transformations are in a nuclear bomb?
nuclear binding energy to thermal energy
This is also known as atomic energy?
The source of atomic energy is the "binding energy" that exists in the nucleus of all atoms. This is the energy that is contained in the union of the protons and neutrons of the nucleus. When the nucleus is split apart, the binding energy is released.
What makes up the energy released in a nuclear detonation?
nuclear binding energy
What form of energy does nuclear fission release?
Nuclear binding energy is released mostly as heat energy.
What is energy released during nuclear fusion?
The binding energy between atoms is released.
Why is Nuclear Energy Every where?
Nuclear energy comes from the binding energy released when we change the state of atoms. Binding energy holds the universe together and it is present in every atom.

When a nuclear fission reaction occurs an enormous amount of energy is released This energy comes from?
The release of excess binding energy.

What is nuclear and nucleus binding energy?
Nuclear or nucleus binding energy are one and the same. IT is the force which is holding the nucleons together (protons and neutrons). Higher the binding energy , higher the stability of the nucleus.
What element has the greatest nuclear binding energy per nuclear particle?
We know that nickel-62 has the highest nuclear binding energy per nucleon of any element.
