Between nuclear fission and fussion radioactive by-product are more characteristic of which?
Nuclear fission typically produces more radioactive by-products compared to nuclear fusion. This is because fission involves the splitting of large atoms into smaller, unstable fragments which can emit radiation. Fusion, on the other hand, involves the combining of light atoms to form a heavier nucleus with less unstable by-products.
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.
What occurs in Fission?
In nuclear fission, the reactant atoms are split into resultant atoms, and a release of energy.
Compare nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fission involves splitting large atomic nuclei into smaller ones, releasing energy. Nuclear fusion involves merging small atomic nuclei together to form larger ones, also releasing energy. Fusion is the process that powers the sun and other stars, while fission is used in nuclear power plants and atomic bombs.
Can you site examples of nuclear change?
* formation of rutherfordium * fusing of atoms under intense heat and pressure inside a star * radioactive decay of unstable atoms to form new elements * breaking apart of large, unstable atoms in a fission bomb * cosmic rays * nuclear fission and nuclear fusion

The process which describes the splitting of a large unstable atom into two intermediate size atoms and extra neutrons is called?
The process which describes the splitting of a large unstable atom into two intermediate size atoms and extra neutrons is called nuclear fission. Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process.
What is it called when a large unstable atom splits?
When a large unstable atom splits into two or more smaller atoms, it is called nuclear fission. This process releases a large amount of energy and can result in a chain reaction if not properly controlled.
The process by which describe the splitting of a large unstable atom into two intermediate size atoms and extra neutrons is called?
Fission to be more specific its nuclear fission...
What is the process which describes the splitting of a large unstable atom into two intermediate size atoms and extra neutrons called?
Nuclear fission
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
What is it called when unstable nuclear atoms are split unto two?
either atomic decomposition or nuclear fission, fission being a uranium-235 or other such isotope having a slow moving neutron fired into it's nucleus.
What is the nuclear reaction called when atoms split?
The nuclear reaction when atoms split is called fission. Fission is where atoms split into smaller particles or atoms.

Fission is a physics term applied to the action of the splitting of an atom, not the splitting or "separating" of two atoms.
Is splitting of atoms a form of nuclear decay?
No, the splitting of atoms is nuclear fission.
A nuclear reaction in which an atoms nucleus is split into two smaller nuclei and energy is released as heat is known as?
nuclear fission
