What occurs in Fission?
In nuclear fission, the reactant atoms are split into resultant atoms, and a release of energy.
When uranium atoms split what is it called?
This phenomenon is called nuclear fission.Nuclear fission of uranium-235 release a huge energy.
What do you mean by Nuclear Fission?
Nuclear fission means that in this process the heavy nuclei are split into fragments (or fission products) when bombarded by neutrons and results in release of energy.
Where are massive amounts of energy in an atom contained?
When you split a atom, you will get quarks, when you split a quark, the theory is that you will get little strings of energy (take a look at the string theory)
What is the basic concept of nuclear fission?
The basic concept is that certain heavy nuclei, notably uranium 235 and plutonium 239, can be split or fissioned by capturing a neutron, giving rise to other lighter nuclei, further neutrons, and released energy. By careful arrangement of the nuclear fuel a chain reaction can be produced which is self-sustaining and produces a lot of thermal energy. See the link below for more reading

What is split in a nuclear reactor to release energy?
The nucleus (nuclei) of uranium-235 or plutonium-239
What would happen if you cut an element into smaller and smaller pieces?
Elements = atoms If you "cut" an element into pieces, essentially split the atom, you release its energy. This is called fission, nuclear fission to be precise, and leads to a nuclear detonation. Depending on the atom you split, there will be a release of energy and radiation.
How can a uranium atom be made to release nuclear energy?
Every atom contains nuclear energy inside it. That nuclear energy can be released by splitting the atom. The uranium atom is one of the ones that is easier to split. Usually to release the nuclear energy atoms are collided with each other which breaks them releasing the nuclear energy. This is done in a machine called a particle accelerator in which atoms are fired at near the speed of light and when they collide and split they release nuclear energy. I Hope that answers your question.
If atom are the finest particle than why atom bomb are getting blast?
They split the atoms which causes a great release of energy.
Where does nucler energy come from?
Nuclear energy comes from nuclear power plants. Inside the power plant, the workers split Uranium atoms which release heat. Then they release water on the heat which causes steam. the steam rises and turns turbines which then release electricity.
Where is the majority of the nuclear energy that lands on Earth produced?
The Sun and other stars make heat & light by nuclear reactions. Nuclear energy is produced two different ways: In one, large nuclei are split to release energy. In the other method, small nuclei are combined to release energy.
When uranium atoms split what is it called?
This phenomenon is called nuclear fission.Nuclear fission of uranium-235 release a huge energy.
What is the energy that is given off when a necleus is split?
atomic energy
What happens when a U-235 splits?
if you split it with a hammer, then it breaks into two pieces. if you split it with a neutron, it becomes two different elements and releases a lot of energy. if you have enough uranium 235, then you can get a chain reaction going and release a lot more energy. if you're a dick, you can make a bomb out of this.
Do atoms split?
yes but only High-energy neutrons or protons can split atoms
ATP is what kind of agent in almost all metabolic pathways?
ATP is the immediate source of energy for many processes in cells.In many cases the energy is released as ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi). In some instances ATP is split into AMP and pyrophosphate, which may subsequently be itself split into two phosphate groups, with the release of a further packet of energy.
