What is the name of the nuclear process in which heavy nuclei split into two lighter nuclei?
Fission
Why heavy nuclei are unstable?
Heavy, i.e. large, nuclei are unstable because their size is such that the attractive strong nuclear force starts to lose out over the repulsive effect of the electromagnetic interaction. The happens because the distance coefficient for the strong nuclear forces drops off more rapidly than does the electromagnetic interaction.
When are heavy nuclei most stable?
When they contain an excess of neutrons

What do a heavy nuclei need to remain stable?

What has the author Jerry Lewis Pietenpol written?

When is the cells chromosomes divided into two new nuclei?
Telophase
What is a good sentence for nuclei?
Some protists have two nuclei.
How is hydrogen and heavy water different from hydrogen and normal water?
