Splitting helium would yield?

two individual helium atoms, since helium is an inert gas with two protons and two neutrons in its nucleus. Splitting helium further into smaller particles is not typically done due to its stability.


What is produced from splitting the water?

Hydrogen and oxygen gases are produced from splitting water.


How does the process of photosynthesis involve the splitting of water molecules?

During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. The water molecules are split into hydrogen and oxygen atoms through a process called photolysis, which occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. The oxygen atoms are released as oxygen gas, while the hydrogen atoms are used to create energy-rich molecules that drive the production of glucose.


When are Molecules created?

Molecules are created through chemical reactions when atoms join together in specific arrangements. This can happen in various ways, such as during natural processes like photosynthesis or through human intervention in laboratories. Overall, molecules are constantly being created and broken down as part of the dynamic nature of the chemical world.


Can cells be created or destroyed?

Yes. They can be made through either fusion or fission.Through fusion, atoms with lower molecular numbers can combine to make one atom of a higher molecular number. This process occurs in stars when hydrogen is fused into helium.In nuclear fission, an atom with a high molecular number, looses neutrons and protons to become an atom with a lower molecular number. It is said to be radioactive, and this happens naturally as uranium turns into lead. When it happens naturally the rate at which it goes through fission is called a half-life. When it is used in a nuclear reactor it can release energy as if undergoes fusion and produce a lot of energy over a long period of time.When it is used in an atomic bomb, the fission undergoes a chain reaction where all the energy is released in a fraction of a second and creates a huge explosion.When it is used in a nuclear bomb, an atom bomb explodes under nuclear fission and then triggers hydrogen to fuse into helium in a secondary explosion. This type of bomb releases even more energy.So. Yes, atoms can be made and destroyed, in both cases huge amounts of energy are released in the process.

Is splitting an atom exothermic?

yes, have you ever seen an Atomic Bomb blast! Well that is the splitting od atoms.


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.


Why was spliting the atom nessersary for the Americains to make the bomb blow up in Hiroshima?

The atoms splitting is what causes the explosion, without the technology to cause atoms to split the bomb was just another pile of junk.


How is a fission bomb different from a fusion bomb?

A fission bomb relies on nuclear fission (splitting atoms) to release energy, while a fusion bomb relies on nuclear fusion (merging atoms) to release energy. Fusion bombs are more powerful than fission bombs and are often referred to as thermonuclear or hydrogen bombs.


Is the nucleur bomb the biggest bomb?

the nuke is not the biggest bomb. it can be big or small in size, but technically the fusion bomb has a larger explosion, but one has never been set off, or developed. it is the opposite of nukes, instead of splitting atoms it combines two or more.


Is splitting of atoms a form of nuclear decay?

No, the splitting of atoms is nuclear fission.


Difference between atom bomb and hydrogen bomb?

One takes large atoms and breaks them into smaller atoms--called fission (a-bomb). The other takes really small atoms and fuses them together to make larger atoms--called fusion (h-bomb).


Are atoms too small to split into pieces?

you can split atoms that's how they created the atom bomb


What is the splitting of atoms into smaller atoms?

Nuclear fission is the splitting of atoms.


Was dynamite used in the Hiroshima bomb?

No, dynamite was not used in the Hiroshima bomb. The atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 used nuclear fission, a process that releases a tremendous amount of energy by splitting the nuclei of atoms. This resulted in a powerful explosion that caused massive destruction.


A weapon that produces a massive explosion by splitting atoms?

A weapon that produces a massive explosion by splitting atoms is known as a nuclear bomb or atomic bomb. It operates on the principle of nuclear fission, where the nuclei of heavy atoms, such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239, are split into smaller parts, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. This release of energy results in a devastating explosion, capable of causing widespread destruction and loss of life. The development and use of such weapons raise significant ethical and humanitarian concerns.


What is the splitting of heavy atoms into two or more atoms called?
