Atomic energy, also called Nuclear energy (since it is the nucleus, or core, of the atom that is split).When the atoms are split, the nuclear energy is a result of what is called Nuclear Fission. When the atoms are merged, the nuclear energy is a result of what is called Nuclear Fusion.
An atomic bomb releases more energy than a conventional chemical bomb because the atomic bomb releases binding, or Nuclear Strong Force, energy while the conventional bomb releases chemical energy, and there is far more binding energy (hundreds and thousands of times) than there is chemical energy from the same mass of material.
Nuclear binding energy is released mostly as heat energy.
mass defect
Heat does not have an atomic structure. It is a form of energy, not matter.
You get nuclear energy from the binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) that holds the nucleus together.
Radiation
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.
The binding energy in atomic nuclei. This energy is transmitted by the strong force.
No. Fission is the splitting of atomic nuclei, which releases binding energy. That is the nuclear force.
The energy stored in the nucleus of an atom is called atomic or nuclear energy. This energy is potential because it is kinetic.
The word nuclear comes from nucleus. Nuclear power comes from the release of binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) in the nucleus of atoms.
Nuclear energy is based on the release of binding energy.
Nuclear binding energy is the energy that holds nucleons (protons and neutrons) together in an atomic nucleus. It is derived from what is called mass deficit. Each nucleon in the atom gives up a tiny amount of its mass when the atom is created. This mass in converted into binding energy.
The binding energy is used in nuclear reactors.
Nuclear energy vastly overshadows the energy from chemical and mechanical energy, because nuclear energy is based on the release of binding energy, which lies at the core of everything. It is the Strong Atomic Force.
