Fast neutrons fro U238 but you can use slower neutrons for U235. Other fast bombardment nucleii may also be used

Is it true or false that uranium nuclei split during nuclear fission?

It is true that a uranium nucleus splits in the nuclear fission of uranium.


What is the process called that releases energy from Uranium?

The process is called nuclear fission, where the nucleus of a uranium atom is split into smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.


Can an atom of uranium split?

Yes, by nuclear fission.


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.


Uranium 235 can be split using what?

Usually a small subatomic particle such as a neutron, since it does not contain any charge and thus is not repelled by the positively charged nucleus, and it is massive enough to give enough energy to split the uranium nucleus.


When uranium atoms split what is it called?

When uranium atoms split, it is called nuclear fission. This process releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.


What is a reaction that occurs when uranium atoms are split?

Nuclear fission


What form of energy does uranium represent?

Uranium represents nuclear energy, which is released through the process of nuclear fission. When the nucleus of a uranium atom is split, it releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat, which can be converted into electricity.


The uranium atom can be triggered to split when struck by?

The nuclear fission of uranium is a reaction with neutrons.


What radioactive element is in nuclear reactions?

Uranium is one of the most common radioactive elements used in nuclear reactions. It undergoes nuclear fission, where its nucleus is split into smaller fragments, releasing energy in the process.


What is the process in which an uranium atom is split to generate energy?

Nuclear fission


How become uranium to krypton and barium?

Uranium does not naturally turn into krypton and barium. These elements are created through nuclear reactions, typically in a nuclear reactor or during nuclear fission processes. During these reactions, uranium atoms can split into smaller atoms like krypton and barium, releasing energy in the process.
