Fission refers to the process of splitting a heavy atomic nucleus into two or more lighter nuclei. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the basis for nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons. In nuclear reactors, controlled fission reactions are used to generate heat for producing electricity.
What else can I help you with?
What term is use to describe splitting a large atomic nucleus into smaller ones?
Nuclear fission is defined as splitting large nuclei into smaller ones.
The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called?
The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called nuclear fission. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the principle behind nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
The splitting of an atom nucleus into smaller nuclei is called?
Neclear fission
When a nucleus absorbs a neutron and then breaks apart there are many products of the reaction Which of these is not a product of a nuclear fission reaction?
Uranium-235
Does Uranium 238 and 235 release neutrons in nature as they do in a fission process?
Uranium-238 and Uranium-235 do not release neutrons spontaneously in nature in the same way they do during a fission process. Neutrons are typically required to initiate the fission process in nuclear reactions. In natural settings, radioactive decay processes such as alpha and beta decay occur in uranium isotopes, but not neutron release.
Where do you get nuclear fission?
You get nuclear fission in:nuclear fission reactorsatomic fission bombs
Prokaryotic cells reproduce by a process called?
binary fission
What is fission product?
Fission products are the fragments resulting from the fission of heavy nuclids during nuclear fission process
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
Where does fission occour?
Nuclear fission occurs in fission reactors, a type of nuclear reactor, and in fission bombs, more commonly knows as atomic bombs.
For a sustainable fission reaction each fission must produce exactly additional fission reaction(s).?
A stable nuclear fission reaction will be sustained if every fission produces one additional fission reaction.
Does an amoeba reproduce by fission?
Yes, but not fission on the atomic level. Fission simply means to split apart.
Does amoeba reproduce by fission?
Yes, but not fission on the atomic level. Fission simply means to split apart.
Is atomic bomb fission or fusion?
Fission.
Is fission sexual or asexual?
Binary Fission is asexual
Is reaction on sun a fusion or fission?
fission..sup
Was the Chernobyl meltdown from fusion or fission?
The reactor(s) at Chernobyl are fission reactors, and fission of fuel and fission products following the fire and the overheating of the core melted it down.
