What two elements are produced when an atom of uranium 235 is split?

The results are not always the same, what is actually produced varies from one nucleus to another, so the result can only be represented statistically. There is one peak at around Atomic Mass of 100 and another at around 135. See the link below for a graph and more details

What is the process in which an uranium atom is split to generate energy?
Nuclear fission
What has uranium?
Similar to all other chemical elements the uranium atom has protons, neutrons and electrons; uranium is also unstable and radioactive.
When did Lise Meitner split the uranium atom?
The first fission of uranium is from 1939: Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner, Fritz Strassmann.
Who were the two scientists to first split a uranium atom?
Otto Hahn, Fritz Strassmann and Lise Meitner in December 1938.
The uranium 238 atom can be triggered to split when its struck by a?
By neutrons; bu the cross specific area is very small for thermal neutrons.
What atom was split to make a bomb?
uranium
Can an atom of uranium split?
Yes, by nuclear fission.
The uranium atom can be triggered to split when it is struck by what?
The answer is neutron. :)
The uranium atom can be triggered to split when it is struck with?
Neutrons
The uranium atom can be triggered to split when its struck by a?
Neutrons
What did Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman split in 1938?
They split the uranium atom.
The uranium atom can be triggered to split when struck by?
The nuclear fission of uranium is a reaction with neutrons.
What atom of this element can split to hel generate electricity?
Uranium
What is the process in which an uranium atom is split to generate energy?
Nuclear fission
What is it called when a particle of an atom that flies off when a uranium atom is split?
Probably you think at fission products.
Compare the energy produced during fission of a uranium atom with the energy produced from combustion of carbon atom from coal?
The energy density of Uranium is 2,715,385 greater than an equal amount of coal
Does nuclear power work quick?
Well it all depends; Fission of Uranium 235, splitting of this atom into two smaller atoms of different elements. A neuron must hit the nucleus at just the right speed to cause the Uranium 235 to undergo fission. When the Uranium atom is split, free neutrons are released in the form of positiv.
