What energy resource means splitting large atoms into smaller ones?

∙ 10y ago
Nuclear energy and nuclear power plants utilize the enormous power of fission, which is essentially splitting an atom into smaller atoms, often producing extra neutrons and photons as a by-product. The amount of energy in nuclear fuel is about a million times that of the energy that one can find in chemical fuels like oil.

What is the power produced by splitting uranium atoms to release their energy called?
The nuclear energy
Does splitting wood involve splitting atoms?
If you split wood with an axe, no. Atom splitting requires an extremely large amount of energy and causes an explosion.
Whats the difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission?
Fission is a splitting apart. Fusion is a putting together. You get energy by splitting heavy elements AND by fussing light elements. The mid point is iron, the element with the least amount of available "nuclear" energy ... thus it is the ultimate ash from any nuclear reaction.
What do you call energy made from split atoms?
Nuclear fission, made from the splitting of U-238 atoms mixed with a small ratio of U-235 atoms. For more information, visit the Nuclear Energy Institute's websithe @ nei.org
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
What is the splitting of atoms into smaller atoms?
Nuclear fission is the splitting of atoms.
What is the sun's energy supply?

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
What type of energy depends upon the release of energy from splitting atoms?
Nuclear Energy.
Nuclear energy could come from?
from the splitting of uranium atoms
Nuclear fuel produces energy by splitting?
Uranium atoms!
What is the power produced by splitting uranium atoms to release their energy called?
The nuclear energy
Does splitting wood involve splitting atoms?
If you split wood with an axe, no. Atom splitting requires an extremely large amount of energy and causes an explosion.
Can the energy from splitting an atom be contained and used?
The French get the majority of their electricity by containing and harnessing the energy from splitting atoms. So yes, it's very doable.
What are the two ways nuclear energy can be released?
Fusion (combining light atoms into heavier atoms), and fission (splitting heavy atoms).
What is the step-by-step process for nuclear energy?
splitting atoms,absorbation,heat.water and piping
What type of energy conversions occur when energy is given off by splitting atoms turn into water steam?
Nuclear is the answer
