What parts of an atom are used in Nuclear Fission?
During nuclear fission the atomic nucleus is splitted.
What is the term for the combination of atomic nuclei?
Nuclear fission
Is fission a nuclear force?
No. Fission is the splitting of atomic nuclei, which releases binding energy. That is the nuclear force.
The splitting of the nucleus of a large atom into two or more smaller nuclei occurs during nuclear?
The splitting of an atomic nucleus is known as nuclear fission.
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.
What term is use to describe splitting a large atomic nucleus into smaller ones?
Nuclear fission is defined as splitting large nuclei into smaller ones.
What is splitting of atomic nuclei?
FISSION. nobody on this website knows the answer..... SHAME
What is the continuous bombardment and splitting of a atomic nuclei?
A nuclear fission chain reaction
When to separate from the atomic nuclei. Which process does this describe?
You think probable to nuclear fission.
What is the nuclear fission is the fusing of nuclei to become one single atom?
No. That's a description of the process of nuclear " fusion ".Nuclear " fission " is the splitting of one single atomic nucleus into two or more nuclei.
What is the splitting of an atomic nucleus to form two smaller nuclei of roughly equal mass?
Nuclear fission
What is nuclear energy made from?
In general, nuclear energy comes from the energy associated with atomic nuclei. There is nuclear fusion, which happens in stars and in fusion weapons, and there is nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is the "combining" of lighter atomic nuclei to create heavier ones, and many fusion reactions release energy. (Again, think of stars.) In contrast, nuclear fission is the "splitting" of atomic nuclei to release energy. The latter is technology that we've come to use fairly widely, and we have developed fission nuclear weapons and the nuclear reactor to tap nuclear energy via fission. Let's look at the latter device, the reactor. The fission of nuclear fuel (also known as atomic fuel, such as uranium or plutonium) is where we get nuclear energy. And what happens during nuclear fission is that the nuclei of fuel atoms absorb neutrons and fission (split), releasing lots of energy. In fission, that larger atomic nucleus breaks into a pair of smaller ones, and these fission fragments recoil with a lot of kinetic energy. The fuel traps the fission fragments, and the energy they came away with is converted into thermal energy in the fuel. We derive nuclear energy by tapping the energy of formation of atomic nuclei via fusion or fission. This is advanced technology that is less than a century old. We're still working to use it well and wisely.
