The energy released when atoms are split apart or fused together in atomic reactions?

The question is not specific. Is this question about the amount of energy released or how the energy released?
I'll answer for both of them, the amount of energy to be released depends on the fuel like U235 and Pu239 etc, and mass of them.
The energy is released by the conversion of mass into energy. when the U235 breaks into two other nuclei, there will be the mass defect. this will be converted into energy.
i hope your problem is solved. other wise, please specify your question.

∙ 9y agoAtoms cannot be 'split apart' by normal chemical reactions. (This is the definition of an atom). When fused to molecules the formation energy is released (exothermic-) or taken up (endothermic formation).

What is the role of energy in chemical reactions?
energy is released or absorbed.
How is thermal energy involed in chemical reactions?
Reactions involve absorption and release of thermal energy. Heat is either absorbed or released.
What is reactions that occur when more energy is released forming new bonds than is required to break bonds in the initial reactions?
When more energy is released than that which is provided, this is referred to as an exothermic reaction.
Is a chemical energy energy in action?
No. Most chemical energy is potential (stored) energy. Energy that is released by chemical reactions is a form of kinetic energy.
What about the energy of biochemical reactions is true?
ATP stores chemical energy in its phosphate bonds. Energy is released when the phosphate bond is broken.
What The energy released when atoms are split apart or fused together in atomic reactions?
Nuclear Reaction.
What is difference between atomic energy and nuclear energy?
Atomic energy is really a misnomer for nuclear energy. It is the fissioning of the nucleus which causes energy to be released. At the atomic level we are dealing with chemical reactions, but in the early days people did talk of atomic power and atomic bombs.
What type of energy is in nuclear reactions?
The binding energy in atomic nuclei. This energy is transmitted by the strong force.
What is released during nuclear reactions?
Energy (in the form of heat), also free neutrons.Binding energy
Energy is released by?
Exothermic reactions.
If you were able to harness raw atomic energy through a special engine and aim nothing but the energy at the ground would it be able to cause an object to lift or to hover?
An incredible amount of electromagnetic energy is released by atomic reactions but it does not provide any thrust. It is more effective to capture the energy that is released in water and use it to produce steam and drive turbines.
How do the light reactions and dark reactions work together?
The light reactions provide energy carriers for the dark reactions.
What is the role of energy in chemical reactions?
energy is released or absorbed.
How the light and dark reactions work together?
The light reactions provide energy carriers for the dark reactions.
How do light an dark reactions work together?
The light reactions provide energy carriers for the darl reactions.
How is energy involved in a chemical reaction?
Activation energy is needed to start a chemical reaction. This energy is used to join the reactants together or break them apart. If a reaction is exothermic then it gives energy out. If it is endo thermic then the reaction takes energy in.
Atomic bomb energy is released by?
Fission and/or fusion of atomic nuclei.
