When atoms are split which part of the atom is energy released?

nucleus. the nucleus gets the energy and the realises it to the protons and the electrons.


The splitting of atoms causes other atoms to split in this process?

It's called thermonuclear reaction.


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.


Can a atom divide into smaller particles?

Atoms consist of a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. Atoms can undergo nuclear reactions, such as fission or fusion, which can split the nucleus into smaller particles. However, in normal chemical reactions, atoms do not divide into smaller particles.


What happens when you split a nucleus?

You can't. You can't split atoms, which have a nucleus, so therefore you can¡t split the nucleus, which is an even smaller, inner part. It's mathematically and scientifically impossible! Actually no, Nuclear energy used in nuclear power plants and atomic bombs use the energy from a split nucleus of plutonium or uranium. So why is it that you think that a nucleus cannot be split when the USA has used a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki..... Genius.


If atom are the finest particle than why atom bomb are getting blast?

They split the atoms which causes a great release of energy.


Does germanium have a nucleus?

All atoms have a nucleus.


What energy is stored the nuclei of atoms?

The energy stored in the nuclei of atoms is called nuclear energy. This energy is released through processes like nuclear fission or fusion, where the nucleus of an atom is split or combined with another nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.


What type of atoms are found in the nucleus of an atom?

The nucleus of an atom CANNOT itself contain atoms.


Are atoms too small to split into pieces?

you can split atoms that's how they created the atom bomb


Is atoms parts of a nucleus?

No, the nucleus is part of the atom.


What does energy made from split atoms mean?

Energy made from split atoms refers to nuclear energy, which is generated through a process called nuclear fission. During nuclear fission, the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts, releasing a significant amount of energy in the form of heat. This heat can then be harnessed to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.
