What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
Why is nuclear fission bad?
It is not bad to generate electricity using nuclear power. However, there are concerns some people have with nuclear power, in particular with the side effects of it. In the process of generating electricity nuclear fuel is used up and left as what is called nuclear waste. This waste is very radioactive and a danger to living things for upwards of 10000 years. This waste must be stored, and debates about where and how it should be stored can lead people to consider nuclear power to be a "bad" method of generating electricity.
In the twentieth century what were two ways nuclear fission happened?
Nuclear fission happens spontaneously in nature. Uranium-235 does this, and is the only commonly occurring natural isotope that does. Nuclear fission can be induced by crashing a neutron into a fissionable atom. Some things other than Uranium-235 are fissionable, notably Uranium-238. Fission has been induced in various experiments. It happens in nuclear reactors and in nuclear bombs.
What is splitting of atomic nuclei?
Splitting of atomic nuclei, also known as nuclear fission, is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts. This process releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
What is it called when nuclear fission is repeated?
It is called nuclear chain fission reaction.
Why is the method of fission energy a bad thing?
Because the nuclear fission area could explode
Where do you get nuclear fission?
You get nuclear fission in:nuclear fission reactorsatomic fission bombs
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
What is the bad things about the nuclear power reactors?
there are no bad things about the nuclear power reactors
A nuclear reaction in which an atoms nucleus is split into two smaller nuclei and energy is released as heat is known as?

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.

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.
What is it called when nuclear fission is repeated?
It is called nuclear chain fission reaction.
Why is it called Nuclear Fission?
It is called nuclear fission as in this process the heavy nuclei are split into fragments (or fission products).
