The process which describes the splitting of a large unstable atom into two intermediate size atoms and extra neutrons is called?
The process which describes the splitting of a large unstable atom into two intermediate size atoms and extra neutrons is called nuclear fission. Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process.

Is measuring the size of an atom by the size of its orbital not very accurate?
No. It is the only way to measure an atom because the orbital is the outer part of the atom and determines its size.
