What else can I help you with?
What would happen if you would break molecules apart?
The subatomic particles of the Atom (neutrons, protons, electrons) are released at high velocity. Some of these particles can strike other atoms and cause them to break apart, releasing large amounts of energy; this is called nuclear fission (atoms fissioning into lighter atoms). A self-sustaining fission reaction where atoms break apart, and cause other atoms to break apart, can be created with many radioactive elements such as Plutonium or Uranium in an event called a Chain Reaction.
Are the nuclear reactors the same processes occurring in the sun and reactors?
No. The sun produces energy by fusion. It is joining hydrogen atoms into larger helium atoms, which releases energy. Man-made nuclear reactors produce energy by fission. They break large atoms into smaller atoms, which also releases energy.
What word is used to describe the process that uses water to break apart a large molecule?
Dynthes
What type of bond is likely between atoms that are far apart on the periodic table?
Atoms that are far apart on the periodic table are likely to form ionic bonds. Ionic bonds occur between atoms with a large difference in electronegativity, causing one atom to transfer electrons to the other to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Does splitting wood involve splitting atoms?
No, splitting wood does not involve splitting atoms. Splitting wood refers to the process of using a tool, such as an axe or a log splitter, to separate a piece of wood into smaller pieces that are more manageable for fuel or woodworking purposes. Splitting atoms, on the other hand, refers to the process of breaking apart the nucleus of an atom, often done in nuclear reactions for energy production or scientific research.
What is a large landmass hypothesized to have broken apart about 200 million years ago into continents?
Pangaea is the large landmass hypothesized to have broken apart about 200 million years ago, eventually forming the continents we see today.
Can atoms be split?
Yes, atoms can be split through a process called nuclear fission. This process involves splitting the nucleus of an atom, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of radiation. Nuclear power plants use this process to generate electricity.
Hydrogen atoms fuse and become what?
Hydrogen atoms fuse to become helium atoms during the process of nuclear fusion in stars. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the source of the sun's energy.

By what process are large pieces of food broken down into smaller pieces?
saliva i guest

Dynthes
What is the one large landmass hypothesized to have broken apart about 200 million years ago into conticontinents?
The supercontinent hypothesized to have broken apart about 200 million years ago is called Pangaea. It is believed that Pangaea split into Laurasia and Gondwana, which later fragmented into the continents we have today.
What is the name of the process inside a star that produces the star's energy?
Nuclear fusion. This is the process of fusing two atoms together to make a heavier one. Don't confuse this with nuclear fission, though. Fission is the process of splitting atoms apart (that is what we use for nuclear power plants.)
What is the chemical reactions that allow large molecules to be broken apart into smaller molecules by adding water called?
Hydrolysis is the chemical reaction that breaks down large molecules into smaller molecules by adding water. Hydrolysis involves the cleavage of chemical bonds through the addition of water molecules.
What caused earths large landmass to separate?
The large landmass on Earth separated due to the process of plate tectonics. This is when the Earth's outer shell (the lithosphere) is broken into various plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. The movement of these plates causes them to drift apart, forming separate landmasses over millions of years.
What type of bond is likely between atoms that are far apart on the periodic table?
Atoms that are far apart on the periodic table are likely to form ionic bonds. Ionic bonds occur between atoms with a large difference in electronegativity, causing one atom to transfer electrons to the other to achieve a stable electron configuration.
