I believe Einstein was aware that the German Nazis were planning to develop a nuclear weapon, around the beginning of WW2, and he brought this to the attention of President Roosevelt and the administration, recommending the US to start a programme to do the same. I don't think he took any active part in the Manhattan project.

Fission is the splitting of an .?
Atom.
Splitting from an atom is called what?
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.
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.
Why does splitting the atom create a nuclear explosion?
Splitting an atom (fission) releases energy and more than one neutron. If there is a nearby atom, the neutron can cause the atom to split, releasing more neutrons. The "chain reaction" proceeds exponentially. At each split more energy is released. Eventually the energy is sufficient to wipe out whole cities: an explosion.
Fission is the splitting of an .?
Atom.
Splitting from an atom is called what?
fission
Does nuclear fusion involve splitting an atom?
yep
How it's called the splitting of the atom?
Nuclear fission
How do we know what an atom looks like?
by splitting them apart
Nuclear fission reactions involve the .?
Splitting of atom
Did Sweden build an atom splitting machine?
Yes
Is the atom bomb a atom?
No, it is called an atom bomb because it derives its power from splitting uranium and/or plutonium atoms.
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 term for splitting a atom?
When you split an atom, you create a nuclear fission. The energy from splitting that atom is converted to electricity. To split an atom means to literally "break it in half." An atom has a nucleus with negatively charged electrons around it. The reaction of the atom splitting is so large that a small amount can convert into numerous amounts of energy.
Is splitting an atom exothermic?
yes, have you ever seen an Atomic Bomb blast! Well that is the splitting od atoms.
Does E equals MC2 have anything to do with nuclear energy?
yes, it stands for energy=mass times the speed of light in meters per second squared. it calculates the energy involved in splitting an atom. it also does other things i dont know what its part of albert einsteins theory of relativity.
