∙ 10y agothe answer is:
Nuclear Fission. the earth science book states the definition of Nuclear Fission which is the process by which the nucleus of a heavy atom splits into two or more fragments, the process releases neutrons and energy.

its really nuclear energy. the dude above is lying. i already looked this topic up all over the internet. i looked on, like, 200 sites. they all said nuclear energy.
A.M.
i dont know what this guy is talking about but i know the answer to that question is:::: Fission

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.
Reactions involving the particles in the nucleus of an atom are called what?
Nuclear Fusion. This process involves 'fusing' together two smaller nuclei to form a bigger nucleus.
Why is a larger nucleus not as stable as a smaller nucleus?
A smaller nucleus is generally more stable. Below are some general rules: # (Except for really small nuclei) All stable nuclei contain a number of neutrons that is equal to or greater than the number of protons. # Nuclei with too few or too many neutrons is unstable. # If a nuclei has even numbers of nucleons, it's generally more stable. # Nuclei with "magic numbers" usually tend to be more stable.
Compare and contrast fusion and fission?
With nuclear fission, a large atomic nucleus (such as a uranium nucleus) breaks apart into smaller nuclei, and energy is released. With nuclear fusion, small atomic nuclei (such as hydrogen) join to become larger nuclei, and energy is released. Fusion of hydrogen releases much more energy than any other type of either fusion or fission. Note that the dividing line between heavy nuclei and light nuclei is the iron nucleus, which is at the perfect point of nuclear stability, so that neither fusion nor fission of iron nuclei would release any energy.
Why is carbon fission not possible?
Nuclear fission can only occur in heavy, unstable nuclei, as smaller nuclei are, on the whole, more stable than the largest ones. This only continues down to iron. In elements lighter than iron the heavier nuclei tend to be more stable, so splitting apart a carbon nucleus would absorb energy rather than releasing it. Fusion of carbon releases energy. Such fusion occurs in the cores of some massive stars as they enter their final stages.
The splitting of an atom's nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
