1. Energy (heat) 2. Fast neutrons 3. Fission products (atoms of other elements of lower atomic weight, often very radioactive). All three are produced simultaneously, for every fission that occurs.

∙ 9y ago- two fission fragments are ejected, one about 2/3 and the other about 1/3 the original mass of the original atom
- several neutrons are ejected, for uranium the average is about 2.63034 neutrons per fission
- about 195 MeV of energy is released as kinetic energy, distributed between the fission fragments and the neutrons

Is an atom of uranium absorbed a neutron and splits into an atom of krypton and a tom of barium an example of nuclear fission?
Yes, it is true.
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.
If neutron strikes an atom of uranium and splits does this support Dalton's atomic theory?
The third principle of Dalton atomic theory is no supported.
What is the process in which an uranium atom is split to generate energy?
Nuclear fission
What type of power splits atoms?
Atomic energy, also called Nuclear energy (since it is the nucleus, or core, of the atom that is split).When the atoms are split, the nuclear energy is a result of what is called Nuclear Fission. When the atoms are merged, the nuclear energy is a result of what is called Nuclear Fusion.
Do nuclear energy have stored energy?
Yes. For example, an atom of uranium-235 has stored energy (potential energy); after it splits, this is released, mainly as heat energy.
Is a thorium nucleus released when a uranium atom splits?
No, it is not true !
When the uranium atom splits what does not get released?
Soda pop cans.
What part of the atom is energy released from when an atom splits?
nucleus
Where do atomic bombs get their power?
atomic bombs get there power from the energy released by splitting an atom. A nucleus is fired into an unstable isotopse such as Uranium 235 and the Uranium is split into two daughter nuclei. A cloud of electrons, along with some energy, is released. Each of the electrons in turn splits another atom, creating a large chain reaction, and this releases enough energy to power an atomic bomb.
What is the difference between an atom of carbon and atom of uranium?
The usual Carbon-12 is not radioactive. Uranium is radioactive. Radioactive means that the atom splits and spits out some energy or matter (with matter, the atom changes to another atom). Luckily, all the atoms don't split at once.
When an atom of uranium 235 is bombarded with neutrons it splits into smaller nuclei and produces a great amount of energy This nuclear process is called?
Nuclear fission
Is an atom of uranium absorbed a neutron and splits into an atom of krypton and a tom of barium an example of nuclear fission?
Yes, it is true.
What energy source comes from what happens when an atom splits?
When an atom splits, its called fission Heat comes from fission
Why must the bullet that splits a uranium atom be neutral?
The bullet that splits a uranium atom is a neutron. Other possible bullets are protons and alpha particles. But these particles are positively charged and so will be repelled by the nucleus of the uranium atom since it contains protons in plenty. Like charges repel. So the uranium nucleus with the positive charge will repel other positive charges. Neutron is a neutral particle and so is not repelled. So a neutron is used as a bullet to split uranium atom.
A chain reaction results when a uranium atom is struck by an neutron released by a nearby atom?
This is the process involved in nuclear fission in a nuclear power station. The chain reaction is set off when one neutron is fired into the reactor. It hits a uranium atom which then splits into 2 smaller atoms and 2 more neutrons are released that collide with two more atoms and so on...
When the nucleus of an atom splits what kind of energy is released?
First high speed neutrons, thermal energy and gamma rays are released then the byproducts emit a bit more energy in the form of beta decay.
