What are the two ways nuclear energy can be released?
Fusion (combining light atoms into heavier atoms), and fission (splitting heavy atoms).
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 is nuclear energy i don't understand?
nuclear energy is a type of energy made by splitting atoms when the atoms split they make energy
Can the energy from splitting an atom be contained and used?
The French get the majority of their electricity by containing and harnessing the energy from splitting atoms. So yes, it's very doable.
Is splitting of atoms a form of nuclear decay?

What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
What is the splitting of heavy atoms into two or more atoms called?
Fission
Splitting large Nuclei into smaller ones is defined as what?
Nuclear fission is defined as splitting large nuclei into smaller ones.
Splitting heavy atoms is fission?
Yes.
What energy resource means splitting large atoms into smaller ones?
Nuclear energy and nuclear power plants utilize the enormous power of fission, which is essentially splitting an atom into smaller atoms, often producing extra neutrons and photons as a by-product. The amount of energy in nuclear fuel is about a million times that of the energy that one can find in chemical fuels like oil.
The splitting of nuclei of atoms is called .?
The splitting of nuclei of atoms is called nuclear fission. This process is categorized as either a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay reaction.
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.
Bomb created by splitting atoms?
atomic bomb
Does splitting wood involve splitting atoms?
If you split wood with an axe, no. Atom splitting requires an extremely large amount of energy and causes an explosion.
What is the splitting of a nucleus into smaller nuclei?

Is splitting an atom exothermic?
yes, have you ever seen an Atomic Bomb blast! Well that is the splitting od atoms.
