It is called the "nuclear model"

Rutherford concluded that

1. Atom is mostly empty space

2. Atom has a nucleus at its center

3. Electrons surround the nucleus

Atoms are merged to produce this type of energy?

Nuclear energy.When the atoms are merged, the nuclear energy is a result of what is called Nuclear Fusion. When the atoms are split, the nuclear energy is a result of what is called Nuclear Fission.


Is splitting of atoms a form of nuclear decay?

No, the splitting of atoms is nuclear fission.


What is the splitting of atoms into smaller atoms?

Nuclear fission is the splitting of atoms.


What is the nuclear reaction called when atoms split?

The nuclear reaction when atoms split is called fission. Fission is where atoms split into smaller particles or atoms.


Is fusion nuclear decay or nuclear synthesis?

Fusion is nuclear synthesis, combining atoms of lesser mass into atoms of greater mass. Decay is reducing the mass of larger (unstable) atoms to form atoms of lesser mass.


How do nuclear atoms differ from regular atoms?

All atoms are nuclear, in that they all have nuclei. Some atoms have unstable nuclei, making them radioactive. I'm afraid I have no idea what you mean by "nuclear atoms," unless you meant to say radioactive atoms, in which case the answer is "they have unstable nuclei and they're radioactive."


Merits of nuclear shell models?

Nuclear shell models provide a useful framework for understanding the structure of atomic nuclei based on the organization of nucleons into energy levels, similar to electron shells in atoms. They successfully predict the magic numbers of stable nuclei and the nuclear binding energies. Additionally, shell models contribute to our understanding of nuclear properties such as spin, parity, and magnetic moments.


Are the number of atoms in space constant?

No. It is very frequent to change of the number of atoms in nuclear fissions and nuclear fusions.


How does nuclear power do?

Nuclear power works by splitting open nuclear atoms. The energy escapes and opens up more nuclear atoms. The scientists use this energy to power homes and appliances.


What kind of atoms are in nuclear energy?

A fission of energy atoms generating nuclear energy that is used to produce electricity.


What are the types of nuclear energy?

In nuclear fusion, energy is released when atoms are combined or fused together to form a larger atom. This is how the sun produces energy. In nuclear fission, atoms are split apart to form smaller atoms, releasing energy. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce electricity.


Is is possible to convert atoms of one element into atoms of another?

According to Dalton's atomic theory chemical reactions occur when atoms are separated, joined, or rearranged. Atoms of one element, however, are never changed into atoms of another element as a result of a chemical reaction (it is possible only during nuclear reactions and radioactive disintegration).
