What is called splitting the nucleus of an atom to release energy?
Nuclear fission
What is the term for splitting a atom?
When you split an atom, you create a nuclear fission. The energy from splitting that atom is converted to electricity. To split an atom means to literally "break it in half." An atom has a nucleus with negatively charged electrons around it. The reaction of the atom splitting is so large that a small amount can convert into numerous amounts of energy.
What happens during fission when a neutron combines with a uranium-235 atom?
During fission of uranium-235 with thermal neutrons the atom is splitted and many fission products are obtained.
Nuclear fission reactions involve the .?
Splitting of atom
What process splits an atom's nucleus to produce normous amounts of heat energy and gamma rays?
This process is called nuclear fission.
What is an atom called?
Fission.
Splitting from an atom is called what?
fission
What energy source comes from what happens when an atom splits?
When an atom splits, its called fission Heat comes from fission
What is it called when the center of an atom splits?
FISSION
How it's called the splitting of the atom?
Nuclear fission
The process in which each split atom gives up neutrons?
The act of an atom splitting is called nuclear fission. In nuclear fission where we see neutrons emerge with fission fragments, and we then see those neutrons initiate other fission reactions is called a nuclear fission chain reaction.
What is it called when a large unstable atom splits?
Nuclear 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.
Why is fission called nuclear?
The process of nuclear fission involves splitting the nucleus of an atom into two smaller nuclei.
What is called splitting the nucleus of an atom to release energy?
Nuclear fission
What is it called when a particle of an atom that flies off when a uranium atom is split?
Probably you think at fission products.
Will the type of atom be the same or different after it under goes fission?
fission is the splitting of atoms
