What else can I help you with?
Can Atom bomb worked by atomic fission?
Yes. Later, the Hydrogen Bomb used fission/fusion.
How is the energy from splitting an atom harnessed then changed to electricity?
Atom splitting makes heat, heat creates steam, steam powers turbins(generators). Basically it's the same process as any coal or burn things type plants but uses the atomic energy instead of fire.
Where do es energy come from in nuclear power?
In nuclear power, energy is derived from splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission. When a uranium atom is split, it releases a large amount of heat energy, which is then used to generate electricity through steam turbines.
What type of energy conversions occur when energy is given off by splitting atoms turn into water steam?
When energy is given off by splitting atoms, it is converted from nuclear energy to thermal energy. This thermal energy is then used to heat water and turn it into steam, which can be used to drive turbines and generate electrical energy, converting the thermal energy into mechanical and then electrical energy.
Production of this type of energy involves fission?
Nuclear energy is produced through nuclear fission reactions, which involve splitting the nucleus of an atom to release energy. This process generates heat, which is used to produce steam and drive turbines to generate electricity.
What element is used to produce tremendous energy contained in the nucleus of an atom?
hydrogen
What energy do you use when spliting or fusing a atom?
The energy provided when splitting or fusing an atom is binding energy - the energy that holds the atom together. When you change the configuration of the atom, you change the amount of binding energy required. Excess energy is released and we use it for other things, such as heating water and making steam. There is also a change in mass of the atom and its constituents, and that change in mass represents a change in energy. (Einstein: E = MC2)

Why was the nuclear atom important?
Not sure what you're asking here. There is no "nuclear atom", every atom has either nuclear bonding energy. Are you asking about the strong and weak nuclear force within the nucleus? Or the history of utilizing that nuclear energy from with in the atom for other uses (atomic bomb and nuclear power plants)? I believe he was talking about the atoms used in nuclear explosions. The metal used is generally Plutonium. It is important because splitting it releases a crazy amount of energy. This energy can be used for killing people, or generating electricity, or even EMP's (electric magnetic pulse).

What type of explosive device is made from splitting the atom?
The name for an explosive device caused by the split of an atom is an atom, or atomic bomb. It was used on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in WWII to end the war.
What is the meaning of nuclear?
Nuclear means having to do with the nucleus of the atom, that is the protons and neutrons that together compose [comprise] the nucleus. This is a definition of nuclear: It is an adjective and it is used in two ways. Either in reference to subatomic particles which comprise matter, or in reference to nuclear energy, which is energy harvested from the splitting of the atom - or the fusion of atoms - in order to generate steam.
What type of energy conversions occur when energy is given off by splitting atoms turn into water steam?
When energy is given off by splitting atoms, it is converted from nuclear energy to thermal energy. This thermal energy is then used to heat water and turn it into steam, which can be used to drive turbines and generate electrical energy, converting the thermal energy into mechanical and then electrical energy.
How nuclear weapons are used?
Well they are dropped or fired to cause the expolsion, although this explosion only comes by the splitting of an atom.
Production of this type of energy involves fission?
Nuclear energy is produced through nuclear fission reactions, which involve splitting the nucleus of an atom to release energy. This process generates heat, which is used to produce steam and drive turbines to generate electricity.
What energy resource means splitting large atoms into smaller ones?
Nuclear energy and nuclear power plants utilize the enormous power of fission, which is essentially splitting an atom into smaller atoms, often producing extra neutrons and photons as a by-product. The amount of energy in nuclear fuel is about a million times that of the energy that one can find in chemical fuels like oil.
