Why does the reaction of an atom splitting release so much energy?

Is it kind of like this:





Electrons are moving so fast around the nucleus and have so much momentum. Then you ';split the atom'; and thus the electrons along with their momentum get ';pushed away'; and release all that energy?Why does the reaction of an atom splitting release so much energy?
the vast amounts of energy that are produced in the splitting an atom is not related to the electrons at all. The 'splitting' is of the nucleus, and the energy released is related to the change in the mass of matter from the nucleus as it was to the 'pieces' that are left. And that is related to the strong force that holds the nucleus - specifically, the protons within the nucleus - together.Why does the reaction of an atom splitting release so much energy?
quantum vacuum field entanglement..........





The quantum field is extremely powerful...more powerful than a quadrillion thermonuclear war heads in a given volume of space....well, I mean it's very powerful.





Energy that is released comes from the quantum field.





Subatomic resonation to the quantum field.
Precisely. E = mc^2. When you ';punch'; an electron into a proton, it becomes a neutron, and the momentum of the electron splits the nucleus of the atom and releases energy.
Electrons are very fluffy, they are called Beta particles and have very little energy. The splitting of an atom is fission, many neutrons may be released, radioactive energy is released.
