If cytokinesis is splitting of the cytoplasm what is the splitting of the nucleus?
The splitting of the nucleus is called mitosis, which is the division of the nucleus into two identical daughter nuclei. It involves several stages, including prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, where the chromosomes are separated and distributed equally to each daughter cell.
Why is fission called nuclear?
The process of nuclear fission involves splitting the nucleus of an atom into two smaller nuclei.
How is nuclear power different to anything else?
Nuclear power involves splitting the nucleus (of uranium or plutonium). No other method of power production does this
Is fission and fusion opposite?
Fission and fusion are opposite nuclear processes. Fission involves splitting a heavy nucleus into lighter ones, releasing energy, while fusion involves combining lighter nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, also releasing energy.
Does nuclear fission require a full electron shell?
No, nuclear fission refers to the splitting of atomic nucleus into two or more smaller nuclei, it does not depend on the arrangement of electrons in the outer shell of the atom. The process is driven by the instability of certain heavy isotopes, which leads to the splitting of the nucleus upon absorbing a neutron.
What is The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called?
fission.
What is the best definition of nuclear fission?
the splitting of a nucleus
Whats the nuclear reaction of fission?
The splitting of a nucleus atom
What is called splitting the nucleus of an atom to release energy?
Nuclear fission
What form of nuclear energy splits a nucleus?
Splitting an atom is Fission.
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.
What is the key difference that allows us to distinguish between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?
The key difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion is the process by which they release energy. Nuclear fission involves splitting a heavy nucleus into smaller nuclei, while nuclear fusion involves combining light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus.
