What is another term for binary fission?
nuclear spilittingNuclear splitting or splitting of the nucleus are another terminology for atomic fission.
Is nuclear fission splitting two atoms apart?
In general, nuclear fission is the splitting of a single atomic nucleus. One atom with an unstable nucleus splits, either spontantously or perhaps because it has absorbed a neutron. Fission is a physics term applied to the action of the splitting of an atom, not the splitting or "separating" of two atoms.
Is the event horizon mark the boundary which the density is roughly the same as that of the atomic nucleus?
no the density of a neutron star is the same as the atomic nucleus. there is nothing comparable in black holes.
What is the relationship between a atomic number and an atomic mass number?
Atomic number: number of protons in a nucleus unique to an element Atomic mass number: number of protons + number of neutrons in a nucleus. May be a small range of values for a given element. Very roughly the atomic mass number is double the atomic number. For large elements it is more than double.
What are fission fragments?
When an atomic nucleus fissions, it splits into smaller atomic nuclei. These smaller atomic nuclei are referred to as "fission fragments." The unstable nucleus of a radioactive element can fission (split) into smaller nuclei, i.e. those of lighter elements. This can also release other atomic particles, as well as energy. In nuclear power and atomic weapons, the fission process is initiated to release the nuclear energy. Natural fission is a much rarer occurrence than 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.
The splitting of the nucleus of a large atom into two or more smaller nuclei occurs during nuclear?
The splitting of an atomic nucleus is known as nuclear fission.
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 term is used to describe splitting a large atomic nucleus into two smaller ones?
nuclear fission
What word describes the process of a heavy atomic nucleus splitting into several smaller particles?
Fission
What is another term for binary fission?
nuclear spilittingNuclear splitting or splitting of the nucleus are another terminology for atomic fission.
Spliting of nucleus into smaller fragments?
the splitting of the nucleus into smaller fragments is called fission.This was the same process used when the US dropped its atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during WWII back in 1945 using Uranium in one, and Plutonium in the other.

Nuclear reaction in which an unstable atomic nucleus splits into two roughly equal parts?
Fission.
Is splitting an atom's nucleus called fission or fusion?
Splitting an atomic nucleus is atomic fission. Fusion is the fusing or "forcing together" of particles or lighter atomic nuclei that then "stick together" to form a heavier atomic nucleus. Use the links below to learn more.Apex= Fission (Ryan Mcaphee =] )
What does the root word fission mean?
The root word "fission" means the act of splitting or dividing into parts. It is commonly used in the context of nuclear fission, which is the process of splitting an atomic nucleus into two or more smaller nuclei.
