You are confused on your terminology. The terms atomicand nuclear are effectively interchangeable in the field of nuclear weapons. Both mean energy from the atomic nucleus.
There are two ways to get energy from the atomic nucleusthough: fission and fusion.
- Fission is the splitting of large heavy nuclei into smaller lighter ones, like Uranium-235 and Plutonium-239.
- Fusion is the joining of small light nuclei into larger heavier ones, like Deuterium and Tritium.
I hope this clarifies things.
What else can I help you with?
How are nuclear fusion and nuclear fission different from each other?
Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two types of nuclear reactions that release energy. Fusion combines atomic nuclei to create heavier elements, while fission splits atomic nuclei into smaller fragments. Fusion powers the sun and hydrogen bombs, while fission is used in nuclear power plants and atomic bombs.
What are the difference between atomic fission to atomic nuclear?
The difference between atomic fission and atomic nuclear is that they both have something to do with atomic and war. Hope this helps I am kind of in a rush......Smile!
What are different types nuclear heat?
fission: nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller partsfusion: nuclear fusion is the process by which two or more atomic nuclei join together "fuse"
What is the antonym of nuclear fusion?
The antonym of nuclear fusion is nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is the process of combining atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, while nuclear fission is the process of splitting a heavy atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei.
What is an example of uncontrolled nuclear fission reaction?
Atomic fission bomb.
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.
Is fission a nuclear force?
No. Fission is the splitting of atomic nuclei, which releases binding energy. That is the nuclear force.
Did atomic bombs work by atomic fission?
all nuclear explosives use some fission. even now.
Where does the energy come from in a nuclear fission reaction?
In a nuclear fission reaction, the energy comes from the splitting of atomic nuclei.
What type of nuclear reaction releases energy through the combination of atomic nuclei, unlike fission reactions which involve the splitting of atomic nuclei?
The type of nuclear reaction that releases energy through the combination of atomic nuclei is called fusion. This is different from fission reactions, which involve the splitting of atomic nuclei.
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.
The splitting of an atom's nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
The splitting of an atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei is called nuclear fission.
