What else can I help you with?
What is The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called?
fission.
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
Is nuclear fission splitting two atoms apart?
In general, nuclear fission is the splitting of a single atomic nucleus. One atom with an unstable nucleus splits, either spontantously or perhaps because it has absorbed a neutron. Fission is a physics term applied to the action of the splitting of an atom, not the splitting or "separating" of two atoms.
Whats the difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission?
Fission is a splitting apart. Fusion is a putting together. You get energy by splitting heavy elements AND by fussing light elements. The mid point is iron, the element with the least amount of available "nuclear" energy ... thus it is the ultimate ash from any nuclear reaction.
What do you call energy made from split atoms?
Nuclear fission, made from the splitting of U-238 atoms mixed with a small ratio of U-235 atoms. For more information, visit the Nuclear Energy Institute's websithe @ nei.org
What is the splitting of heavy atoms into two or more atoms called?
Fission
Is splitting of atoms a form of nuclear decay?
No, the splitting of atoms is nuclear fission.
What is the splitting of atoms into smaller atoms?
Nuclear fission is the splitting of atoms.
What is The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called?
fission.
What is the difference in the processKEY WORD of fission and fusion?
in atomic science, fission is the splitting of atoms, fusion is the fusing of atoms
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.
Will the type of atom be the same or different after it under goes fission?
fission is the splitting of atoms
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission

Fission is a physics term applied to the action of the splitting of an atom, not the splitting or "separating" of two atoms.
What are the two ways nuclear energy can be released?
Nuclear energy can be released through nuclear fission, which involves splitting atomic nuclei, or nuclear fusion, which involves combining atomic nuclei. Fission is used in current nuclear power plants, while fusion is still being researched for potential future energy applications.
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.
What is a nuclear process in which a huge amount of energy is released and which can also be used to generate electrical energy in power stations?
Nuclear fission, the splitting of heavy atoms into lighter ones.
