If atoms are radioactive, they can emit alpha,beta, or gamma radiation. The energy of the particles or rays emitted depends on the exact isotopes concerned, and varies widely from one to another.

What is energy that comes from the tiniest particles of matter called?

Energy that comes from the tiniest particles of matter is called nuclear energy. This energy is released during nuclear reactions such as fusion or fission of atoms. It is a powerful and concentrated form of energy that has the potential to generate electricity.


What type of energy depends upon the release of energy from splitting atoms?

Nuclear energy depends on the release of energy from splitting atoms, a process called nuclear fission. This energy is harnessed in nuclear power plants to generate electricity.


What is energy stored in the nucleus of an atom called?

Binding energy. and some is even stored in particles, such as the neutron which has a half-life of about ten minutes before it disintegrates with the release of energy.


What is the release of energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy called?

The release of energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy is called emission. This occurs when the particles return to a lower energy state, releasing energy in the form of light or heat.


Which process do particles of matter release energy?

Particles of matter release energy through a process known as nuclear fission or fusion. In nuclear fission, a heavy nucleus splits into smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. In nuclear fusion, light nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy in the process.
