Atomic energy
Energy released in nuclear reactions. Of particular interest is the energy released when a neutron initiates the breaking up or fissioning of an atom's nucleus into smaller pieces (fission) or when two nuclei are joined together under millions of degrees of heat (fusion). It is more correctly called nuclear energy.

- Radioactivity, the set of various processes by which unstable atomic nuclei (nuclides) emit subatomic particles
- 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 energy, energy produced by nuclear reactors
- The energy of inter-atomic or chemical bonds, which holds atoms together in compounds.
