Where is the energy which is released during a chemical reaction stored to begin with?
In the electrostatic forces between the positive atomic nuclei and the negative atomic electrons.
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 The combining of light nuclei is called?
fusion
How has basic knowledge about atomic nuclei been used in technology?
Knowledge about atomic nuclei has been used to produce energy.
What are the process in which nuclei with small masses are combined to form a nucleus with a larger mass?
Combining the nuclei of atoms is called Nuclear Fusion. A reaction that is found in stars.
Is atomic nuclei required in a chemical reaction?
No, atomic nuclei is not required for a chemical reaction.
What the combining of atomic nuclei is?
The combination of two light atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus is called fusion.
A nuclear reaction in which the nuclei of atoms join together is called nuclear fission.true or false?
False. Combining nuclei to form a new nucleus is called nuclear fusion. Nuclear fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus.
What term describes the combining of atomic nuclei?
Nuclear fusion
Which of the following is not required in a chemical reaction?
A,atomic nuclei
What nuclear reaction happens when two small nuclei?
they combine to small nuclei to smaller unit
What is the difference between the use of fission as an energy source?
The difference between the use of fission and fusion as an energy source is that in fusion reaction, 2 or more light atomic nuclei fuses to form single heavier nucleus while in fission reaction, heavy atomic nucleus is usually splited into smaller nuclei, other particles and radiation.
What is the continuous bombardment and splitting of a atomic nuclei?
A nuclear fission chain reaction
Do all chemical reactions need atomic nuclei?
All atoms involved in a chemical reaction have an atomic nucleus.
The process of combining two small nuclei into one nucleus of larger mass is called?
Combining two atomic nuclei is called nuclear fusion.
What are fission fragments?
When an atomic nucleus fissions, it splits into smaller atomic nuclei. These smaller atomic nuclei are referred to as "fission fragments." The unstable nucleus of a radioactive element can fission (split) into smaller nuclei, i.e. those of lighter elements. This can also release other atomic particles, as well as energy. In nuclear power and atomic weapons, the fission process is initiated to release the nuclear energy. Natural fission is a much rarer occurrence than radioactive decay.
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.
