In a nuclear fission reactor it is formed by the splitting of nuclei (U-235 or Pu-239) into two smaller parts. This happens within the fuel rods which make up the fuel assemblies. In the stars it is formed by nuclear fusion, which is quite different and does not happen on Earth.
Nuclear energy
Nuclear is formed either by: Fission of heavy nucleiFusion of light nucleiRadioactive decay of unstable nucleiNuclear energy results from the mass defect (either due to fission, fusion, or radioactive decay) change into kinetic energy that is changed into thermal energy (producing steam) then to mechanical energy then to electric energy.
Nuclear power is formed through a process called nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom is split, releasing a large amount of energy. This energy is harnessed to generate electricity through steam turbines that drive generators. The fuel used in nuclear power plants is typically uranium or plutonium.
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.
Energy is formed through processes such as photosynthesis in plants, where sunlight is converted into chemical energy. It is also formed through the combustion of fossil fuels, where chemical energy stored in the fuels is released as heat and light energy. In nuclear reactions, energy is formed by splitting atoms (fission) or fusing atoms together (fusion).
Solar energy is formed by nuclear fusion in the sun

Energy hasn't been formed since the creation of matter. However, energy is present in atoms and can be released during chemical or nuclear reactions.

Iron is the most massive element that can be formed by nuclear fusion with the liberation of energy. This is because fusion reactions beyond iron require an input of energy rather than liberating energy.
Newly formed atoms can have varying numbers of neutrons depending on the element produced. They also have high kinetic energy as they are formed during nuclear reactions, which release a significant amount of energy.
Yes, and it is formed from the process called nuclear fusion. The sun's own energy comes from nuclear reactions taking place in the sun's core.
Breaking an atom does release energy in a process called nuclear fission, where the nucleus splits into smaller parts. This energy release is a fundamental principle behind nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
A nuclear bomb is formed through a process called nuclear fission, which involves splitting of atoms such as uranium or plutonium to release a large amount of energy. This energy creates a powerful explosion that results in significant destruction. The process is carefully controlled in nuclear weapons to maximize the explosive force and impact.
Uranium formed in supernova explosions. Hydrogen has been in the universe since milliseconds after the big bang.
The hydrogen in the Sun has nuclear energy (a type of potential energy). When this is fused, it is converted to heat energy. This eventually gets radiated out as light energy.
