Where does the enegry come from in the fission process?

The energy in the fission process comes from the splitting of an atomic nucleus into smaller parts. When a heavy nucleus such as uranium-235 absorbs a neutron and splits into two lighter nuclei, it releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and gamma radiation.


What 3 parts are in the atom?

the neutron and the protons in the nucleus and the electrons in orbit around the nuclues


Where is the neutron found?

There are many parts to every element on Earth, whether living or not. In terms of an atom the neutron is located in the center or nucleus of the atom.


The process of splitting an operation or task into parts is called as?

The process of splitting an operation or task into parts is called specialization. This will ensure that a specific departments handles a specific part of the operation which maximizes efficiency.


Where are the three parts of the atom?

The three subatomic particles are the neutron, proton, and electron.


What parts of an atom has no charge protons neutrons electrons or the nucleus?

neutrons, just think neutron = neutral


What is fission of fuel means?

splitting the nucleus into two roughly equal parts when struck by a neutron. the reaction is potentially self sustaining as in addition to the two fission fragments the process ejects 2 to 6 neutrons, each of which can cause another fission. each fission event releases about 200 MeV of energy, most of which appears in the form of heat.


Can large nuclei undergo the process of nuclear fission?

By capture of a neutron, causing the nucleus to be unstable and to split into two parts


Distinguish between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?

Fission is the splitting of the nucleus of a large heavy atom such as uranium into two smaller parts. Fusion is the sticking together of two light nuclei to make a heavier one, as occurs in the stars. Both processes release energy.


What Asexual reproduction in yeast?

It is a type of binary fission which occurs and the nucleotides double followed by the other parts and the nucleus splitting into two.


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.


Does nuclear power require sunlight?

No. Nuclear Power does not require sunlight. Nuclear Fission (Nuclear power) is the splitting of an atomic nucleus, when the nucleus splits into its component parts it realeses a huge amount of energy. Disambiguation: Nuclear Fusion is what occurs in stars. It is when two or more atomic nuclei fuse and form a single heavier nucleus. This is usually accompanied by the release of massive amounts of energy.
