What is an atom and what are they made of?
An atom is a unit of matter that cannot be split into other atoms. It is made of energy.
Do atoms reproduce?
no they are made out of energy.
Are the nuclear reactors the same processes occurring in the sun and reactors?
No. The sun produces energy by fusion. It is joining hydrogen atoms into larger helium atoms, which releases energy. Man-made nuclear reactors produce energy by fission. They break large atoms into smaller atoms, which also releases energy.
Ozone is made up of 3 atoms of which important element?
Ozone is made up of three atoms of Oxygen. One Molecule of oxygen is divided into two atoms of nascent oxygen by the high energy UV radiations. This one atom of nascent oxygen is combined with one molecule of oxygen again to form a molecule of ozone.
A molecule of an organic compound has twice as many hydrogen atoms as carbon atoms and the same of oxygen atoms as carbon atoms The molecular mass of this compound is 120u What is the MolecularFormula?
A macromolecule made up of mainly carbon and hydrogen atoms that is primarily used for energy storage and in cell membranes.
What does energy made from split atoms mean?
fission
What is nuclear energy i don't understand?
nuclear energy is a type of energy made by splitting atoms when the atoms split they make energy

How can a uranium atom be made to release nuclear energy?
Every atom contains nuclear energy inside it. That nuclear energy can be released by splitting the atom. The uranium atom is one of the ones that is easier to split. Usually to release the nuclear energy atoms are collided with each other which breaks them releasing the nuclear energy. This is done in a machine called a particle accelerator in which atoms are fired at near the speed of light and when they collide and split they release nuclear energy. I Hope that answers your question.
Are you made of energy?
By definition, energy is the ability to do work or cause a change. If you can do... well, anything, then you have energy inside you. However, you are not made of energy. You are made of cells, which are made of atoms. This is because energy is abstract. You can't 'hold' energy. However, you can hold cells or atoms.
What is nuclear energy made of?
Nuclear Energy is made up of atoms that can be naturally made or man made.
What is a chemical energy made up of?
It is made up of atoms that connect and make energy
What are the features of elements?
Elements are made of 2 or more atoms and elements can be split.
How are Atoms and Molecules and Cells similar?
Cells are made of molecules, molecules are made of atoms, and atoms are made of energy. :) Hope I helped!!
What do you call a molecule made up of two atoms?
compound
What do you call a compound made of of two types of atoms?
a salt
