Atomic Energy
ATOMIC Energytomic energy is energy produced by atoms.
- Nuclear energy, the energy resulting of potential difference of the nuclear force
- Nuclear reaction a process in which two nuclei or nuclear particles collide, to produce different products than the initial products; see also nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Nuclear reactions are used to produce electrical energy by nuclear reactors,
- Radioactive decay, the set of various processes by which unstable atomic nuclei (nuclides) emit subatomic particles
- The energy of inter-atomic or chemical bonds, which holds atoms together in compounds.
The term originated in 1903 when Emest Rutherford began to speak of the possibility of atomic energy.The term was popularized by H.G.Wells in the phrase, "splitting the atom", devised at a time prior to the discovery of the nucleus
