If atoms are radioactive, they can emit alpha,beta, or gamma radiation. The energy of the particles or rays emitted depends on the exact isotopes concerned, and varies widely from one to another.
Nuclear particles and energy are released in both the nuclear decay of a radioactive material and in nuclear fission. (Recall that fission can be spontaneous or can be induced by neutron absorption.
Or, RadioActive Decay
by atoms fusing together or splitting apart
In fission reactors it is the fissioning or splitting of the U235 nuclei which releases energy, which appears in the fuel as heat.
that's simple: radioactive decay!
the answer is radioactive decay.
This is called radioactivity
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.
If it is stored in the nucleus, it must be nuclear energy.
What is the question
Thermal energy is the kinetic energy of the particles, while nuclear energy is the bond energy within the nucleus from strong interaction and weak interaction.
In microscopic particles it's called internal energy. In macroscopic particles it's called thermodynamic energy.
Radioactivity
The Strong Force.
Binding energy. and some is even stored in particles, such as the neutron which has a half-life of about ten minutes before it disintegrates with the release of energy.
Radiation
Nuclear fission
The nuclear energy
The energy is called nuclear radiation, high energy particles and rays that are emitted by the nuclei of some atoms.
The energy is called nuclear radiation, high energy particles and rays that are emitted by the nuclei of some atoms.
Nuclear fission
a chemical change is taking place
This phenomenon is called nuclear fission.Nuclear fission of uranium-235 release a huge energy.
That is called nuclear energy.
