What is the power produced by splitting uranium atoms to release their energy called?
The nuclear energy
What is the name of the process where two atoms combine to make a larger one releasing energy?
what is The process of is when two atoms combine to form a largeer atom releasing energy
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.
Is nuclear fission splitting two atoms apart?
In general, nuclear fission is the splitting of a single atomic nucleus. One atom with an unstable nucleus splits, either spontantously or perhaps because it has absorbed a neutron. Fission is a physics term applied to the action of the splitting of an atom, not the splitting or "separating" of two atoms.
What would happen if you would break molecules apart?
The subatomic particles of the Atom (neutrons, protons, electrons) are released at high velocity. Some of these particles can strike other atoms and cause them to break apart, releasing large amounts of energy; this is called nuclear fission (atoms fissioning into lighter atoms). A self-sustaining fission reaction where atoms break apart, and cause other atoms to break apart, can be created with many radioactive elements such as Plutonium or Uranium in an event called a Chain Reaction.
What is the sun's energy supply?
nuclear energy from the random splitting of atoms
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
What type of energy depends upon the release of energy from splitting atoms?
Nuclear Energy.
Nuclear energy could come from?
from the splitting of uranium atoms
Nuclear fuel produces energy by splitting?
Uranium atoms!
How can you prove that you can destroy an atom?
Atomic bombs create such a powerful explosion because it is started by an atom splitting open, releasing its energy and splitting other atoms, which split other atoms and so on and so on. There are some labs that have a very complex machine that can split atoms and see what's inside. Obviously, you can't do this at home, but it is possible to split an atom.
What are the types of nuclear energy?
In nuclear fusion, energy is released when atoms are combined or fused together to form a larger atom. This is how the sun produces energy. In nuclear fission, atoms are split apart to form smaller atoms, releasing energy. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce electricity.
What is the power produced by splitting uranium atoms to release their energy called?
The nuclear energy
What does Nuclear energy use?
Nuclear energy as applied to power plants uses uranium, which can be made to produce a chain reaction in which atoms of uranium are constantly splitting and releasing energy in the form of heat. The heat is then used to produce electricity through a steam turbine/generator.
What is the name of the process where two atoms combine to make a larger one releasing energy?
what is The process of is when two atoms combine to form a largeer atom releasing energy
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.
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.
