What is the power produced by splitting uranium atoms to release their energy called?
The nuclear energy
What is the process of obtaining energy from the spontaneous splitting of a large nucleus called?
Nuclear energy, but to get substantial energy release it is no good relying on spontaneous fission, which only occurs at a very low rate. The nuclear fuel must be arranged in a lattice with a moderator to create a significant chain reaction.
Nuclear fusion is a process of converting energy into matter?
splitting a nucleus into two nuclei
What is another term for binary fission?
nuclear spilittingNuclear splitting or splitting of the nucleus are another terminology for atomic fission.
What is the process of splitting of a heavier nucleus into lighter with the release of energy called?
Fission is the word you are looking for, but the less massive nuclei of the daughter atoms are usually far less stable than the nucleus of the parent, which is why nuclear waste from plant that uses uranium as fuel is extremely dangerous but nuclear fuel for the plant is not.
What is the splitting of a nucleus with the release of nuclear energy into two fragments of approximately equal size called?
Fission
What is the power produced by splitting uranium atoms to release their energy called?
The nuclear energy
What form of nuclear energy splits a nucleus?
Splitting an atom is Fission.

Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom is called?
Energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom is called Atomic Energy or nuclear energy.
What type of energy depends upon the release of energy from splitting atoms?
Nuclear Energy.
What is energy stored in the nucleus of an atom called?
Binding energy. and some is even stored in particles, such as the neutron which has a half-life of about ten minutes before it disintegrates with the release of energy.
What is Atom Bom?
weapon with great explosive power that results from the sudden release of energy upon the splitting, or fission, of the nuclei of such heavy elements as plutonium or uranium. When a neutron strikes the nucleus of an atom of the isotopes uranium 235 or plutonium-239, it causes that nucleus to split into two fragments, each of which is a nucleus with about half the protons and neutrons of the original nucleus. In the process of splitting, a great amount of thermal energy, as well as gamma rays and two or more neutrons, is released..

What is the energy produced when an atom is split apart?
Energy is neither created nor destroyed. It is simply converted from one form to another. In nuclear fission (the splitting of atoms) the nucleus is split into two or more parts. The binding energy that represented the parent nucleus is now split into three or more parts - the binding energy that represents the two new nucleuses - and the residual binding energy that is left over. The residual energy is often represented as heat and radiation.
