The term fission generally means to split into parts. When we talk about splitting the atom, we generally apply the term nuclear fission to the process. Nuclear fission, the breaking apart of an atomic nucleus, can occur spontaneously, or it can occur as the result of the bombarding of a nucleus with radiation. Nuclear fission is covered in another related question, and it is linked below.

Nuclear fission reactions involve the .?
Splitting of atom
Is nuclear fission splitting two atoms apart?
In general, nuclear fission is the splitting of a single atomic nucleus. One atom with an unstable nucleus splits, either spontantously or perhaps because it has absorbed a neutron. Fission is a physics term applied to the action of the splitting of an atom, not the splitting or "separating" of two atoms.
What is called splitting the nucleus of an atom to release energy?
Nuclear fission
What is the term for splitting a atom?
When you split an atom, you create a nuclear fission. The energy from splitting that atom is converted to electricity. To split an atom means to literally "break it in half." An atom has a nucleus with negatively charged electrons around it. The reaction of the atom splitting is so large that a small amount can convert into numerous amounts of energy.
What is splitting of atomic nuclei?
Splitting of atomic nuclei, also known as nuclear fission, is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts. This process releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.

Splitting from an atom is called what?
Splitting an atom is called nuclear fission. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the principle behind nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
The splitting of an atom's nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
The splitting of an atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei is called nuclear fission.

Why is fission called nuclear?
The process of nuclear fission involves splitting the nucleus of an atom into two smaller nuclei.
