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.

Is spontaneous fusion a form of radioactive decay?
No, the fusion process is the opposite of the radioactive decay process. Fusion is the merging together of nuclei to form a heavier nucleus whereas fission or radioactive decay is the splitting apart of a heavy nucleus into lighter daughter nuclei.
What is the process of a neutron splitting a nucleus into two parts?
Nuclear fission.
Nuclear fusion is a process of converting energy into matter?
splitting a nucleus into two nuclei
What is spontaneous process explain the role of free energy in these processes?
what is spontaneous process".Explain the role of free energy in these processes.
What has radioactivity in it?
Radioactivity is the process of process of spontaneous disintegration of nucleus and is measured by Geiger counter. It remains unaffected by external factors like temperatures, pressure etc. It involves emission of alpha, beta and gamma particles/rays.
Is spontaneous fusion a form of radioactive decay?
No, the fusion process is the opposite of the radioactive decay process. Fusion is the merging together of nuclei to form a heavier nucleus whereas fission or radioactive decay is the splitting apart of a heavy nucleus into lighter daughter nuclei.
If cytokinesis is splitting of the cytoplasm what is the splitting of the nucleus?
The process of splitting the nucleus is called 'Mitosis.' After Interphase (G1, S, G2,) is the stages of Mitosis: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telephase/Cytokinesis.
What is the process of a neutron splitting a nucleus into two parts?
Nuclear fission.
What is the name of the spontaneous process that releases particles and energy from the nucleus of an atom?
Radioactive decay.
The splitting of an atom's nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
The splitting of an atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei is called nuclear fission.
What word describes the process of a heavy atomic nucleus splitting into several smaller particles?
Fission
Nuclear fusion is a process of converting energy into matter?
splitting a nucleus into two nuclei
Why is fission called nuclear?
The process of nuclear fission involves splitting the nucleus of an atom into two smaller nuclei.
What term is use to describe splitting a large atomic nucleus into smaller ones?
Nuclear fission is defined as splitting large nuclei into smaller ones.
What are radioactivity?
Radioactivity was discovered by Henry Becquerel but the term 'Radioactivity' was given by Madam Curie. It is the process of process of spontaneous disintegration of nucleus and is measured by Geiger counter.
When mitosis happened?
mitosis is the process of cell division, in more detail it is the splitting of the nucleus of the atom into two separate nuclei
The division of the cell nucleus called?
Mitosis is the process that refers to the splitting of the nucleus, in which two daughter nuclei are produced. Cytokinesis refers to the division of the membrane and cytoplasm.
