When are Molecules created?

When atoms become bonded through covalent, ionic, or hydrogen bonds they form molecules.


If cytokinesis is splitting of the cytoplasm what is the splitting of the nucleus?

The process of splitting the nucleus is called 'Mitosis.' After Interphase (G1, S, G2,) is the stages of Mitosis: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telephase/Cytokinesis.


Which protein complex in the electron transport chain after photosystem 2 produces ATP?

the water-splitting enzyme


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.


Term given to the splitting of the cytoplasm?

Cytokinesis

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.


What is the splitting of atoms into smaller atoms?

Nuclear fission is the splitting of atoms.


Is splitting of atoms a form of nuclear decay?

No, the splitting of atoms is nuclear fission.


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.


Are atoms too small to split into pieces?

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


How a nuclear bomb works?

Well, the technical explanation is very complicated, so I will make it more simple: there are the fission bomb, and the thermonuclear bomb. The fission bomb makes an explosion through the splitting of atom. Atom is the smallest measurement. There are neutrons and photons in a atom. But when you split the atom to make a big explosion, you do not use any atom. We usually use an atom of uranium-235. When the uranium atom is split, the normal amount of neutrons or photons does not come out. Then the neutrons release lots of energy! (Very simple explanation: A fission bomb is a bomb that uses energy from splitting uncontrolled atoms. And a thermonuclear bomb is just opposite to fission bomb, it gets energy from fusion of atoms to make a heavier one.


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

The splitting of nuclei of atoms is called .?

The splitting of nuclei of atoms is called nuclear fission. This process is categorized as either a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay reaction.
