The nuclear reaction when atoms split is called fission. Fission is where atoms split into smaller particles or atoms.
A nuclear chain reaction. This is what happens in a nuclear reactor.
Nuclear fission
Nuclear chain reaction
The process in which each split atom gives up neutrons which in turn split other atoms is called a nuclear fission chain reaction.
the atoms split and cause a chain reaction
In such a case nuclear fission occurs.
Nuclear reactors split uranium atoms in a process called nuclear fission to release energy. This process generates heat that is used to produce steam, which then drives turbines to generate electricity. Burning uranium would involve a chemical reaction, while nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction.
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.
False. A nuclear reaction in which the nuclei of atoms join together is called fusion, not fission. Fusion is the process that powers the sun and hydrogen bombs. Fission, on the other hand, is when the nucleus of an atom is split into two or more smaller nuclei.
Nuclear Reaction.
This phenomenon is called nuclear fission.
When uranium atoms split, it is called nuclear fission. This process releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.
