Energy is neither created nor destroyed. It is simply converted from one form to another. In nuclear fission (the splitting of atoms) the nucleus is split into two or more parts. The binding energy that represented the parent nucleus is now split into three or more parts - the binding energy that represents the two new nucleuses - and the residual binding energy that is left over. The residual energy is often represented as heat and radiation.

Before splitting it was the binding energy of the nucleons.
After splitting it is a combimation of heat, kinetic, and e-m energy.

What is produced by splitting the atom of a radioactive material?
nuclear energy
Are energy levels in a hydrogen atom further apart near the nucleus?
yes, they are further apart near the nucleus
What radioactive atoms spontaneously do?
Depending on the type of atom, a radioactive atom will decay by emitting an alpha particle (helium nucleus), proton, neutron, electron, or will split apart completely.
What decade did scientists first split the atom?
split the atom
How much energy produced in fission of an atom of uranium compair to an carbon atom?
The ratio is greater than 1/1 000 000.
What is produced when two or more nuclei join together or when the nucleus or one atom split apart?
nuclear fusion
Which kind of energy can only be produced by fusing together or breaking apart the small particles located in atom cores?
nuclear energy
Which energy is produced when an atom splits apart or when two atoms join to form one?
Fission energy in the first case and fusion energy in the second case.
When atoms of beryllium are bombarded with alpha particles an atom of carbon is produced and a neutron is emitted What kind of nuclear reaction occurred?
Nuclear Fission. The Nucleus of the Atom has been split apart.
Where are massive amounts of energy in an atom contained?
When you split a atom, you will get quarks, when you split a quark, the theory is that you will get little strings of energy (take a look at the string theory)
When energy goes into an atom is light produced?
No
What is an atom and what are they made of?
An atom is a unit of matter that cannot be split into other atoms. It is made of energy.
Compare the energy produced during fission of a uranium atom with the energy produced from combustion of carbon atom from coal?
The energy density of Uranium is 2,715,385 greater than an equal amount of coal
Produced when two or more nuclei join together or when te nucleus of one atom splits apart?
In both cases energy is released through annihilation of mass
What is the process in which an uranium atom is split to generate energy?
Nuclear fission
How does electricity generated from nuclear energy?
By Nuclear fission,nucleus of a heavy,radioactive atom (eg-uranium,thorium,plutonium) is bombarded with low-energy neutrons to split into lighter nuclei.This generates tremendous amount of energy.This energy can be used to produce steam which turns the turbine and thus electricity is produced on a large scale. Nuclear energy produces 10 million times the energy produced by combustion of an atom of carbon from coal.
An emission spectrum of an atom is produced when its electrons are .?
Releasing Energy
