Atomic energy, also called Nuclear energy (since it is the nucleus, or core, of the atom that is split).
When the atoms are split, the nuclear energy is a result of what is called Nuclear Fission. When the atoms are merged, the nuclear energy is a result of what is called Nuclear Fusion.

∙ 12y agoThe energy that is released when an atom splits, or is fissions, is binding energy, otherwise known as the strong atomic force. It is the same energy that is released when an atom is combined in fusion. Its just at opposite ends of the binding energy per nucleon curve. (Heavy nuclides like uranium release energy on fission, while light nuclides like hydrogen release energy on fusion - same energy - different process.)

What chemical splits into carbon and oxygen atoms?
Both carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are made up of carbon and oxygen atoms only. Both are colorless, odorless gases.
What type of atoms would you find in a lump of the element iron?
Iron atoms.
What type of atoms are shown in a skeletal model of an organic molecule?
These are atoms of carbon.
Is A purified compound contains only one type of atoms?
No, only elements are made of one type of atoms.
What is this substance in which the number of atoms is not important as long as all of the atoms are of the same type?
Element
What always splits when fission is around?
atoms!(:
What are 3 alternative sources of energy?
Solar power Takes energy from phtons emmitted from the sun. Hydro power Takes power from currents of water turning a turbine. Nuclear power Splits atoms to release energy
How the atomic bomb got its name?
it splits atoms inside of it
What can split atoms in half?
A process called fission. Though it seldom splits then in equal proportions.
Can you break down atoms break them into little pieces?
Yes you can but only scientists know how to make it. It's called an atom bomb. It splits atoms.
What chemical splits into carbon and oxygen atoms?
Both carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are made up of carbon and oxygen atoms only. Both are colorless, odorless gases.
What type of fracture is it when a mineral splits evenly?
The type of fracture formed when a mineral splits evenly is called a cleavage. An example is when mica breaks apart in sheets.
What happens when an atom?
if the atoms will split the number of protons and neutrons will decreased because of their respective numbers of electrons used due tothe splits of the atoms. in this case it explodes
Is there a net release of energy when an element splits?
Yes, this is the source of power in a nuclear power plant
When an element splits the process would yield?
... atoms of at least one other element than the one that is split.
Do you need to be able to do the splits before you can stradle?
No, you do not have to know how to do the splits before you can straddle. People are different where some can do straddles before splits. It all depends on the body type and hips. For both splits and straddles though, it does help to have more flexible hamstrings. By working your hamstring flexibility, both your splits and straddles will improve.
What type of atoms is in iron?
Iron atoms.
