Atomic energy, also called Nuclear energy (since it is the nucleus, or core, of the atom that is split).

When the atoms are split, the nuclear energy is a result of what is called Nuclear Fission. When the atoms are merged, the nuclear energy is a result of what is called Nuclear Fusion.

What is the process in which large atoms are broken apart?

The process in which large atoms are broken apart is called nuclear fission. This occurs when the nucleus of an atom splits into two or lighter nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy. Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.


What happens when an atom?

Do you need to be able to do the splits before you can stradle?

No, you do not have to know how to do the splits before you can straddle. People are different where some can do straddles before splits. It all depends on the body type and hips. For both splits and straddles though, it does help to have more flexible hamstrings. By working your hamstring flexibility, both your splits and straddles will improve.
