Why are the resulting nuclei of a nucleus with a high mass that has undergone fission more stable than the original nucleus?

There is a greater binding energy per nucleon. Greater binding energy signifies a more stable nucleus due to stronger bonds; in fission, the amount of electrons is irrelevant to stability.

How become uranium to krypton and barium?
Krypton (isotopes 83 to 86) and barium (isotopes 138 and 139) are fission products of uranium, resulting from the nuclear fission of uranium atom nucleus.
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
What is The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called?
fission.
Are all fission events in a chain reaction identical?
Nuclear event in a chain reaction could be said to be similar, but not identical. We need to look a bit more closely at a fission event to understand why. In a fission event in a chain reaction, a neutron is absorbed by a fissile nucleus, and the resulting instability causes that nucleus to fission, or split. When the nucleus splits, it splits into two approximately parts (called fission fragments), but not the same two parts will appear in every fission event. And one, two or three neutrons might appear, depending on exactly which two fission fragments appear. The total energies in the events will vary from event to event as well, and this has something to do with the energy the absorbed neutron brings when it is absorbed. We know fission events are similar, but there are variations that preclude them being identical.
What is the splitting of an atomic nucleus to form two smaller nuclei of roughly equal mass?
Nuclear fission
Cell division resulting in two new nuclei having the same number of chromosomes as the original nucleus is called?
fission
How become uranium to krypton and barium?
Krypton (isotopes 83 to 86) and barium (isotopes 138 and 139) are fission products of uranium, resulting from the nuclear fission of uranium atom nucleus.
How do the products of a fusion differ from the products of a fission reaction?
One thing that makes fusion products different from fission products obviously is the fact that fusion products are heavier than the original two nuclei and fission products are lighter than the original nucleus
The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called?
nuclear fission
What is a nucleus breaking apart into two equal pieces?
The process of a nucleus breaking apart in chemistry is called nuclear fission, but it is very unlikely that the two resulting pieces will be equal. A general term would be division.
What is nuclear fission?
the splitting of a nucleus
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
The splitting of an atom's nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
The splitting of an atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei is called nuclear fission.
What is the division of a nucleus called?
Depends. If it's the division of the nucleus of an atom, it's called fission. If it's the division of the nucleus of a living cell, it's called mitosis.
The atoms that remain after a nucleus disintegrates is?
smaller then the original atom and possibly radioative
What involves splitting a nucleus?
nuclear fission
What is The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called?
fission.
