What is called splitting the nucleus of an atom to release energy?
Nuclear fission
When uranium atoms split what is it called?
This phenomenon is called nuclear fission.Nuclear fission of uranium-235 release a huge energy.
How is glycogen broke down?
The splitting of glycogen to release the single glucose units is called glycogenolysis. Lysis refers to 'splitting'.
What is produced from the splitting water during the light-dependent reactions What is this process called?
During the light dependent reaction, it produced Oxygen and Hydrogen..hope that can help...:D
What is uranium 235 when added to natural uranium?
Uranium-235 is not added to natural uranium, it is extracted from natural uranium by a process called enrichment.
Is the atom bomb a atom?
No, it is called an atom bomb because it derives its power from splitting uranium and/or plutonium atoms.

Do nuclear power plants make electricity from fossil fuel?
No. Nuclear power plants use a uranium to provide the heat to generate electricity from. By splitting the nuclei of uranium atoms (called nuclear fission), energy is released, which will be used for electricity generation. Uranium is a radioactive metal, not a fossil fuel.

How can a uranium atom be made to release nuclear energy?
Every atom contains nuclear energy inside it. That nuclear energy can be released by splitting the atom. The uranium atom is one of the ones that is easier to split. Usually to release the nuclear energy atoms are collided with each other which breaks them releasing the nuclear energy. This is done in a machine called a particle accelerator in which atoms are fired at near the speed of light and when they collide and split they release nuclear energy. I Hope that answers your question.
What is the splitting of a nucleus with the release of nuclear energy into two fragments of approximately equal size called?
Fission
An important ore of uranium is called?
An important ore of uranium is called Pitchblende.
What is uranium 235 when added to natural uranium?
Uranium-235 is not added to natural uranium, it is extracted from natural uranium by a process called enrichment.
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.
Are there different types of uranium?
Uranium is a chemical element with three natural isotopes (234, 235, 238). The natural uranium has cca. 0,72 % uranium-235; uranium with a concentration of uranium-235 under 0,72 % is called depleted uranium; uranium with a concentration of uranium -235 above 0,72 % is called enriched uranium. Uranium in nuclear power and research reactors is used as metal, aloys, uranium dioxide, uranium carbides, uranium silicides, etc.
